Hi everyone,

The game club will be meeting this week on Thursday, January 20 from 5p.m. – 7p.m. in BA B026, which is the same time and place as last week’s meeting.

This week we’ll be doing something a little different compared our usual meetings. We will be designing and creating a card game. The game will start out with an objective and a simple set of rules, which will eventually evolve and be expanded upon by the group as we playtest our card game. The goal here is to have you all participate in an activity that some developers use to prototype their games in order to establish a fun and balanced game design. Credit goes to game club member Sean for suggesting this idea.

It should be a fun meeting, and we hope to see many, if not all, of you there.

Also, our meeting this Thursday will be the LAST opportunity for anyone who hasn’t already signed up and submitted their entry fee for GMD 2011 to do so. After this week’s meeting, which is on Thursday, January 20 from 5p.m. – 7p.m. in BA B026, if you have not already submitted your form and entry fee for GMD 2011, then you will NOT be allowed to submit your game for this year’s GMD. So make sure that you get in on the fun and the prizes of GMD 2011 by getting your form and money in by then.
