Thanks, Albert Chen, Assistant Professor of Game Design and Development at Cogswell, alumnus of LucasArts, Factor5, EA, and 3DO, and generally awesome guy, for presenting at our club for a third time!
(He talked about design docs, you guys! So great!)
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.
Winners of the Collaborative Game Challenge have been announced! Intergalactic Planetary Super Showdown tied with Nyx for first place, and Cygnus the Cutie was a close runner up.
Our next challenge is the Facebook Game Dev Challenge! The details will be posted in a separate post.
The collaborative game challenge has started! Rules will be posted shortly, in a different post.
Also thanks to Albert Chen for his presentation, “Getting into the Video Game Industry: Episode II – Unemployment Strikes Back.” You can view his presentation here.
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.
