April Chapter Meeting

This month we are trying something a bit different.  In preparation for a local Game Jam we are hoping to organize for the summer, Kevin O'Gorman will be hosting a Game Design Workshop.  The workshop will cover some of the basic concepts involved in game design and creating player experiences.  We won't be doing anything digital this time around, but there will be some hands-on activity, so you are encouraged to bring pen and paper with you.

Topics to be covered include:

• The MDA Framework (Mechanics, Dynamics, Aesthetics)
• Focus Statements
• Concept Development
• Player Experience

It's a lot to in an hour or so -- don't be surprised if this meeting goes long.  This will be a great event for anyone interested in the design process.  So tell your friends, the meeting is open to everybody.

Also note, we are breaking with the Third Thursday pattern this month because of Easter.  Yes, this is actually the fourth Thursday.
