<div dir="ltr">Hey, All,<br><br>Tuesday was a great meeting! Lots of new faces, lots of fun. I yelled at Karl. I'm not mean. Really. I'm not. :)<br><br>I promised some links to find out more information about the game industry, game development, etc. So, without further adieu:<br>
<br><b>International Game Developers Association</b>: <a href="http://www.igda.org/">http://www.igda.org/</a><br><br><b>Game Dev Map</b>: <a href="http://www.gamedevmap.com/">http://www.gamedevmap.com/</a><br><br><b>Gamasutra</b> (news and articles relevant to the industry): <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/">http://www.gamasutra.com/</a><br>
<br><b>Sloperama </b>(A bible for newbs! I had the pleasure of meeting Tom in person over the summer): <a href="http://www.sloperama.com/advice.html">http://www.sloperama.com/advice.html</a><br><br><br>Additionally, I've been in contact with the game development club over at Bloomfield College. They have an excess of artists. We're overflowing with programmers. Sounds like a match made in heaven, to me.<br>
<br>So, anyone interested in doing a project, let me know and I'll make the connection. E-mail me now, though. It's best to start early. This is also a great opportunity to put together a strong Imagine Cup entrant! Do <i>not</i> think that working on your own side project, all by your lonesome will somehow magically give you an edge. You need to have team projects to show that you play well with others!<br>
<br>Send me e-mails if you have any questions/interest or whatnot.<br><br><b>Important Date:</b> September 23rd. Mile Square Bar & Grill. That's, like, Washington and something (3rd? I forget). There'll be ~40 people with about ~15 being real game developers. It's a great event to network, have some good burgers and yummy drinks. Under 21? That's cool, you just can't drink/sit at the bar.<br>
<br>Peace in the middle east,<br><br>~ Andrew Grapsas<br>(<a href="mailto:agrapsas@stevens.edu">agrapsas@stevens.edu</a>)<br><br><br></div>
