Upcoming Events:
Demo Reel Night is being planned for 2008.
Head on over to www.demoreelnight.com for more information which should be updated soon.
Games for Windows
I am working with the people at Microsoft that are in charge of the Games for Windows initiative. We are working on getting them down here to talk about the initiative and how it affects us as gamers and developers. Right now looking at sometime this year!
Design Pitch
If you haven't yet started on a design pitch, now would be the time. Much like our Demo Reel Night, we are going to have a game design pitch event where you will put forth a concept and present it to a panel. Key things are the "hook" and the idea of "feature IP". So get busy...as we will have this meeting soon. We may also have a pre-meeting where we go through some basics that will help you in this project.
Producer Q&A, QA, LAN party, and other topics are also being considered. If you have something you want to see, the head over to the forums and post it for me.
Also please help us to grow by spreading the word and getting people to join the Yahoo group list (link on the left.)
Stay tuned....
I continue to hope that we will have a new site up soon also.
If you have any questions, or to help with the site, please contact me.
