Come out and join us!
Monday, April 15, 2013 at 08:37AM Our final Game Designers' Guild meeting for the semester is April 26.
We will meet in Hinds 011 at 5:30. As always, we will have some kind of social activity from 5:30-6, then a formal meeting from 6-7, and open time for playtesting and gaming from 7 onward.
Our guest will be Brian Mayer, who has been creating transformative games for the recreational market and for school library programs.
Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 10:53AM There is a current Kickstarter project (running through April 13) that I feel is very important. I decided to make a short video about it to help raise awareness of the project.
The project is called Tiny Games, and it is out of a studio in the UK called Hide & Seek. They are developing an app/PDF with hundreds of small games that you play in the physical world with other people.
This app/PDF is all about enabling you to play with the people around you. I made a video in support of this campaign. It’s not a paid video, nor did they even ask for this. (they don’t even know I’m doing it!) I just feel this is very important, so I want to help get the word out.
You can see my video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vapE5W2QsI

Monday, April 1, 2013 at 09:54PM There's a new section in the Becuase Play Matters blog - the Syracuse University Game Related Classes. The idea is that we are gathering all of the courses across campus that are related to games and putting them into one place.
You can find that information using the matching tab at the top of the page!
