Special Lecture at KMUTT - 01/02/2006
On February 1, 2006, A. Pisal Setthawong (Chang) has arranged and moderated a special game development lecture/seminar at King Mongkut University of Technology at Thonburi (KMUTT) and invited a number of game developers to join the session with includes the following topics:
1) Data-Driven Game Architecture, A Discussion of the Pros and Cons of Scripting Engine
2) An Quick Overview of the roles, duties, and work of a typical Game Designer and Principles of Good Game Design
The first invited guest speaker was Thanit A. a game designer from Debuz Co.,Ltd. who came to take about the first topic by using examples of his personal project which is an Interactive Novel Engine called Angel's Tale to explain principles of the Scripting Engine and how it can help the game development process.
Later on the second session, Mr. Polsin P.(Oke) a game designer from Sanuk Software Co., Ltd. came to discuss about his experience in the game design field and added a number of game design tips for the class. After a introduction and a detailed discussion, this session turned into an open discussion in which all the guest speakers and classroom were discussing about different issues pertaining the game development industry.
On a side note, another game Developer and IGDA member Suphot S. (Phot) popped in during the seminar and added color in the discussion with his experience in a developer and the administor of a local MMOG community, which mirrors some issue on the agenda.
At the end, the seminar was concluded with an extended Q&A session in which lasted beyond the allocated time of 3 hours, but at the end, everyone was happy and hopefully this would help breed a new generation of game developers here in Bangkok!
In this picture, Thanit (standing), and Oke (sitting) are listening intently to another question asked by one of the students in the classrom.
In this picture, Oke smiles to the camera where as the part of the class spends some time to pose at the camera.
In this picture, Phot laughes trying to explain that he is impersonating himself as another student in the class.
Another picture of the class listening intently to a raw serious discussion - in an otherwise informal, informative, and interesting discussion.
Unfortunately Chang forgot to take a picture of himself during this seminar :P

I'll move the pictures to another server. It seems that posting on that server and linking it doesn't always work :-/
