Madtown-IGDA Meeting At Sharendipity December 3rd |
|
We will be holding a meeting at Sharendipity at 6:00 P.M. on December 3rd. Details regarding the location are available on the calendar and the forum.
This will be Madtown-IGDA's first after-hours event. The goal of this first meeting will be to meet & greet the developers in attendance, get a feel for what the group's skill set/interests are, and to demo some of the projects we're working on.
We will be providing food at this event (Pizza, most likely).
The meeting will be geared toward the Indie/Aspiring Developers community. Anyone with experience in programming, sound design, networking, 3d modeling, and/or art is encouraged to attend. If you are familiar with game engines, editors, Photoshop, Maya, 3DSMax, ZBrush, Flash, or other related programs there will certainly be something of interest for you at this meeting.
I would also like to encourage folks to register for this event, by clicking registrations on the calendar, and choosing "agree definitely" or "agree preliminary". This will help us develop a better idea of expected attendance for the event.
If you have any questions, comments, etc, please feel free to E-mail me at LMarty@msn.herzing.edu.
