GMD 2012 EXTENDED to January 19

As many of you already know by now, our GMD 2012 competition has begun and the theme for this year’s competition is “Murder Mildly Foul”.

The submission deadline for GMD 2012 has been extended to Thursday January 19!  That’s more time to fix up your games so be sure to submit whatever you’ve got by the new submission deadline, even if you’re not terribly satisfied with it, for an excellent chance to win a prize (usually every videogame submitted will win something).

We were accepting GMD 2012 sign-up forms until the beginning of January, but you can still download these forms from our website if you need to for whatever reason.  As previously mentioned, the theme for GMD 2012 is “Murder Mildly Foul”

Feel free to email us at gmd@utgddc.com if you have any other questions about GMD 2012.

Good luck, game developers!

GMD 2008 registration update

Because of the cancellation of last week’s meeting due to the snow storm, I am extending the registration deadline by one day. In other words, it’s $10 to register by Friday February 8 and after that it’s $15.

Also, for convenience, you can also register by sending me email at gmd@utgddc.com with the required info from the form and I’ll arrange a meeting time with you for the registration fee.
