STL Gamedev

There will be a meetup on Wednesday, May 20th at Borders Books in Brentwood! Ask at the information desk where the meeting is being held and keep an eye out for people with game programming/art books (usually in the coffee shop or at desks in back on the 1st floor).

The meetup will start off with a meet n’ greet followed by an informal discussion of industry news and brief info about individual projects and/or interests. That will be followed by more formal demos and presentations according to set Agenda. Borders has WiFi so bring your laptops if you got ‘em!

This wednesday, we will be meeting to discuss the future of the STL GameDev group. If you can be in attendance for the meeting, we would like you to come ready to discuss what you want out of the STL GameDev group. If you can’t be there this week, please head over to our forums where we invite everyone to post feedback and recommendations about the group.

Some discussion points will be:
- What do you want out of the group? Technical discussions? Socialization? Presentations?
- What do you think about the current venue? Would you prefer a different location? Are what are some things that you look for in a venue?
- How can we improve the website? Does the website look too boring? Does it convey enough information about the group? How could it be better?

We look forward to a healthy discussion tomorrow, so please come ready to talk! If you can’t make the meetup, please feel free to post your thoughts on our forums!

Hello all! We will be having another meet-up on the 14th at Sanford Brown college in the usual location. We will have an informal round table discussion about indie game development. Some of the issues we will cover are likely to include include develment, publishing, marketing, and creative issues. Come join in on the discussion or just come hang out and watch! See you all there!

Our next meetup will be on December 10th.  Also, check out our new community forums!  Whether you want to brainstorm new game ideas, get technical assistance, or just chat, the forums have it all.

Shawn Presser will be giving a presentation called “How to start game programming.” He will be discussing basic engine architecture and will be publishing some free code for people to examine and use. This is an ideal talk for anyone interested in the basics!
