We had our final dev night, and we don’t normally really do anything into exam period (the tutorial tomorrow being an exception). But, we never really had an end of term thing, and some of use are hankering for more. So, we will be having a little end of term social, or maybe you could see it as one final dev night. I don’t know how official you want to consider it, but there will be game development type people hanging out, possibly working on things, possibly just playing games, tomorrow night, Friday April 12, 2013 in MC1056 starting from about 6:00pm.

It may be a holiday, but we’re still going to try and have our regularly scheduled development night tomorrow, Friday March 29, 2013 at 7:00pm in ML216. So if you’re still around and want to get your game dev on, you can show up to that.

Remember, all. We do this dev night thing every couple weeks, and the next is tomorrow Friday March 15, 2013 in ML216 at 7:00pm.

We had one before reading week, so it’s time for us to have another now. The next development night is tomorrow Friday March 1, 2013 at 7:00pm in ML216. There will be the usual goings on.

ps. Apparently our automated emails were attached to an incorrect email (woops). This should be fixed now.
So, I meant to make this post a bit earlier in the week, but there you go. Due to a lack of attendance to the last couple of discussions, I need to ask: are people actually interested in seeing the GDCIE continue this term?
Let me know if you would like to see more discussions happen, and particularly if you’re planning to attend future discussions this term. You can do this by launching an email at the club account, or leaving a comment on our site.

Remember, there’s this thing happening tomorrow, Monday February 25, 2013 at 6:00pm in HH139. It’s a discussion and we’re talking about:
Actual Sunlight, by Will O’Neill
http://www.actualsunlight.com/
As I said, it should take you about an hour to play through, so if you haven’t yet, try to find some time soon.

ps. I’ll drop these links again, because it seems like the thing to do given the nature of the game.
So, in case people were confused by my long silence, there was no discussion this week due to reading week and all that. But we’ll be continuing the discussions right along now. The next discussion will be Monday February 25, 2013 at 6:00pm in HH139. We will be discussing:
Actual Sunlight, by Will O’Neill
http://www.actualsunlight.com/
This is a dark game, about depression and suicide and it’s very bleak, so be warned. It should only take you about an hour to play through.
And I’ll just leave this here.

If you’re not booking it out of town as soon as possible for reading week, we’re having our usual development night tomorrow. And by tomorrow I mean Friday February 15, 2013 at 7:00pm in ML216. Which is indeed the day after today. Expect the usual.

There’s nothing that can stop the GDCIE. Well, there is, but none of those things have happened, so we’re going to be having another one. The next discussion will the February 11, 2013 at 6:00pm in HH139. Go go magical discussion time (or something):
Bubblegum Slaughter, by merritt kopas

It’s a text based game about magical girls and the apocalypse and it’s pretty awesome (that’s what we call my opinion). It has a few more systems going on than you might expect in your typical text based game. It should only take you a little more than 15 minutes, maybe 20, to play through.
