A Letter from the New Board of Directors
Our Fellow Game Developers:
A few months ago you may have heard that the Austin Game Developers (AGD) fell into hibernation. The AGD had become too onerous for its volunteer organizers to tame, and the focus of its programming was not clear at times. As a result, the AGD sometimes failed to serve those for whom it was created in the first place: people employed making games in the Austin region. The AGD's future looked bleak and some of us doubted whether its hiatus would, in fact, become its demise. Yet the need for this group and the professional and social services it provides to our local industry have never been greater.
Thus, we are delighted to announce the reawakening, the reformation, and the revitalization of this vital organization that connects and fortifies Austin's game development community.
