[Noisebridge-discuss] Gamedev skillshare?

[singclarity]

Is anyone interested in starting a game development skill-share with me?


Basically, I would like to have a meet-up at NB where people interested 
in game development exchange skill workshops or at least collaborate and 
critique others' games and game concepts. I feel like this has probably 
already been done, but nothing similar is currently on the wiki so I 
thought I might bring it up.

Here's an introductory list of material we could work with:
- introducing game design platforms to each other (steam,  unity, java, 
even RPG maker)
- discussing innovation in gaming (3d bandwagon? kinect? xbox/ps3/ipad 
platform?)
- marketing your game, whether its possible to even make money off this shit
- perhaps have talks from SF game companies? No dont let this be a 
resume whoring session but whatever it'll probably happen
- and seriously, just TALKING about cool new games. Stuff like 'have you 
heard of that cool indie game xyz' or 'for gods sake why is the 3DS so 
expensive' and 'episode 3 FFFFFUUUUUUU'.


Sorry for the lack of seriousness. I do encourage serious, working 
professionals to come. While I am not currently employed in the video 
game industry, I will try to make it worth your while if you are. 
Lastly, I understand that there are probably other groups trying to 
accomplish this goal elsewhere in SF. If anyone has info about other 
places that do this (or at least collectives/orgs that are down) then 
that would help me, too.


Thanks for reading,
