Dirty rectangles meeting announcement

Submitted by jesor on Wed, 2011/02/16 - 09:50

Starting this February, Dirty Rectangles will begin month meetups at the Avant Garde Bar in downtown Ottawa. These Show and Tell styled meets will be a chance for you to come and see what's new in the Ottawa game development scene. Each meetup will start with the showcasing of a couple games being made around Ottawa, afterwards we'll open the stage up to any one that would like to show something off. It could be a final build of a game, or a small slice that you'd like to get some feedback on! It's an open mic, anything goes. We'll have a projector and computer on hand to displaying the goods.

 

The February meetup will feature 2 games before the open mic starts.
