Many thanks to Jude Gomila of HeyZap for speaking at our last meeting! It was great to learn how social networks can be used to promote games, and hear a success story from a start-up co-founder.

Before Albert Chen’s presentation, we took a few minutes to mention a few development kits that are popular for game development, including Game Maker, which is great for people without programming experience. More info can be found on the presentation slides from this meeting.
