I received this email from Steve Engels today:

“My EA contact is attending FuturePlay on Monday before flying out later that day. I asked her if she could spare a little time to come talk to you, and she agreed to skip part of Monday afternoon to come to UofT and meet with you guys.

As you can imagine, meeting with EA people is a pretty big deal. She’s not making time for other people, just for us. The plan is to steal her away to come here around 3pm, and I’m in the midst of booking a room for us to hear her talk. I’ll email more as soon as I get the details, but I wanted to give you a heads-up now, because she’s a pretty good person to come see and talk to.

Let other people know about this too, if you can.”

More details are on their way soon.  Check back for a concrete time and place.

UPDATE: The meeting has been scheduled for today, November 3rd, at 3pm in BA5256.

We’ll be having a meeting in our usual place on November 3rd — that’s GB221 between 5 and 7 PM.

Additionally, we’ll be having a meeting on Thursday in the Bahen Centre, room B026, between 5 and 7 PM as well.  We are considering a move back to a Thursday meeting time, as that may work better with everyone’s schedules.

Hope to see you all there!

I received this message from Steve Engels, the professor in charge of the game design courses in the Department of Computer Science:

Next meeting: October 27th between 5 and 7 PM in GB221.

We’ll be discussing spooky games, which is only appropriate because Halloween is on that Friday!

I hope to see you all there!

We’ve been getting a couple requests at putting up the MMO Powerpoint Presentation that Shane made. [Shane: "I don't know why."] Anyways, I’ve finally gotten around to uploading it so if you’d like to take a gander again, here it is:

Sorry everybody, I wasn’t able to book a room this week for our meeting.

Next week, we will be meeting on Tuesday because the University is closed on Monday.  We will meet at 5-7 PM in GB221.  From then on, we will meet on Mondays weekly until the end of the term in the same room and at the same time.

I mentioned this week that we would start having our meetings on Mondays, though I wasn’t able to schedule a room for tonight.  I’ll schedule a meeting for this week, again on Thursday, and also schedule a meeting for the following week, on Monday.

Next Monday, we will cover how to start making a game.  On Thursday this week, we’ll have a less formal discussion.

Stay tuned today for meeting times and locations.

Jen
