ATTENTION: Adelaide Gamedev Meetup!

Submitted by TyKeiL on

who in adelaide is interested in a weekly game development night where people gather to discuss games and there development and people set up projects.

a more personal touch to the usual forum messageboards etc.

we could even organise guest speakers to come to our little gathering to see how things go.

start in a cafe and move around the place, gives a chance for game dev's to also get to know the adelaide resteraunt scene & or cafe scene club scene local hall availability etc.

eventually if it takes off register as a chapter to the GDA if all goes well.

it could be monthly,, if anyone is interested please post your thoughts.

i could imagine that a regular 5 to 10 people would attend monthly mabe 15 20, we could hire a projector(or borrow) if anyone has any projects they would love to display and get feedback on.

also i would like to see feedback on the general food price range(if any) people would be willing to pay, myself is about $20 and thats including all drinks and possibly helping someone else out i would usually spend $10. and also what type of venues are prefferable.

ok, been going to cafe's doing some location research and havent found much that i like.
gauging from the last one im not expectine people to want to eat but tea and coffee is most likely.

one venue i was sitting in today was SQ restaurant and Lounge 55-67 hindmarsh sq a really nice place with couches, the restaurant is fairly up market with dishes ranging from 8 to 30 quid, a bit much for most people, but as the hours we would be there are from 3 to 6 i dont think we would be eating there! im going to give them a ring and see if they can accomodate us.

the last meeting was very casual and nice, even though i would keep this theme up my brother, who has had much more practical experience at gathering meets of people, said that now would be a good time to start thinking about mabe getting idea's together to talk about.

so although i would still like the informal theme if people want to have a topic they'd like to raise start thinking. on what u want to talk about.

i know that i like to talk about alot of things, from the design of character movement, interface's, possible graphical routines, internet and network possibilities, AI and more.

and since i dont really know much about any of these from a programming pespective i have alot to learn.

if anyone need people to bounce ideas with for there own projects i think thats a good reason for a topic.

Sounds good :) I'm assuming that the projector will be attached to a PC (?) I can burn a selection of illust & design samples as PDFs to a cd for a 'slide show' style presentation. If there is anything in particular that people want to see or art/design topics that people want to focus on let me know and I will taylor my selection to that.
