Thanks to Brian Urbanek (of Cryptic Studios (of Champions Online)) for giving us an idea of the things he thinks about while he’s designing! It was super fascinating and super informative.

Edit: Sorry, Action’s video won’t actually be posted, since he requested that no video be taken. I didn’t realize!
Brian gave an awesome presentation. Seriously, it was so great! Speaking personally, it enabled me to solve like ten design problems in one game alone, and it gave me a lot of food for thought for future and past games. Speaking impersonally, everyone I talked to loved it too, so you don’t have to take my word for it.
Also, Kristopher’s “Stability” won! A poll was conducted on our Facebook page and his entry got the most votes.
Videos of Brian’s and Action’s presentations will be posted. Stay tuned!
Edit: Sorry, there won’t actually be a video of Action’s presentation.
Kristopher will get a yoyo with a Microsoft logo on it for winning, and all the participants of the budget crisis challenge will get an Xbox 360 game. We figured there’d be enough participants for there to be both winners and losers…
This post is awfully short in proportion to how long I procrastinated writing it. :O

There’s no corresponding post with the rules for this competition, because I am a terrible person who hasn’t been updating the website, but here is what the rules were, quoted directly from the PowerPoint shown at the meeting:
- Make a game about the budget crisis!
- Work on teams of up to 5 people to make a new game
- Any artwork used must be made by members of the club
- Any sound / music must be original or in the public domain
- Each member can only be on one team
- Games are due at the next meeting, on April 27th
Here’s a direct link to the download for the .zip.

[Note: Due to incredibly stupid planning on the part of the Game Dev Club's board, Brian wasn't able to make it to our April 6th meeting. It was our fault, not his! Do not think of less of him, think less of us. We're sorry. But: He will make it to this one!]
*swoon*
Brian Urbanek of Cryptic Studios will be speaking at our May 11th meeting! I already talked about him on the post that announced our poorly planned meeting, but I can reveal new tidbits:
His talk will be titled Matching Theme and Mechanics in Game Design, it will be 30-40 minutes, and it will have a Q&A at the end. This is something I have been thinking about in the back of my mind, so I’m looking forward to it! Are you?
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010
7:30pm – 9:30pm
Guadalupe Room in the Student Union, San José State University
RSVP on Facebook, if you like
