We will be focusing on learning design techniques through actual game design. Everybody will be given a task and set of restrictions, with which they will be creating fully playable games. These games will be created using paper prototyping techniques, and if there's time, we'll run through a few of the titles.

Once completed, the games will be posted on the home site under a Creative Commons license. More information on that during the meeting.

The meeting should last between 3 and 4 hours.

Hey there, Yoshihisa, That's a great question. Right now, we're focused namely on teaching folks how to design games, but out of that has come some groups of people who want to focus on actually producing their designs. With a group like this, a composer would be an incredible asset, because, quite honestly, sound is the last thing most game designers consider. So, come on by, I'm more than happy to get you some contacts towards that end. ~ Rob

Hi Robert, I am a music composer. Do you think I can be a part of your game design team as a composer?
