Meeting Discussion Points:
1.Asian Game Developers Summit (AGDS) - review of the events that transpired in the summit, some feedback from those who attended from the Philippines, and heads up for the next one next year.
2.Legal Game Developers Organization - we discussed the need to have a legal non-profit organization to represent game developers in the IT organizations and government here, same as what we have in our animation industry. The representatives of the game developer companies here agree to pursue creation of the organization, which would focus more on game development industry building and other things which IGDA manila chapter will not cover. The game development representatives will meet again to further discuss this.
3.Emerging Technologies event( pseudo-Game Development Conference ) - we announced the upcoming Emerging Technologies event. It will be held in March 2-3, 2006, in a hotel, fully sponsored by
one of our top universities. All of the tracks will be presented by people from IGDA manila chapter member companies. There would be tracks for game design, programming, and arts, and would tackle mobile and PC game development.
