Also, don't forget to cross-post to ZAGD as well ;)
I can also do a ~30 min talk on level design if anyone is interested. :)
@Bensonance haha I was actually planning on running a survey thing to gather some data about how we're using the meets and what people want to get out of the evenings.
I think the level design talk could be really cool!
Reminds me that I need to poke @Tuism since we has talking about doing a talk about how game design can influence community culture which could be a rather interesting talk.
Chatted to Tuism and gave 'em some extra time to work on the talk, so that'll be in June.
Super thanks to @Bensonance for a really great talk! I really wish we'd filmed it since it'd make a great resource.
Also big thanks to @typhvs for coming to his first meetup and showing us the game; it's rather cool :) Hope we'll see you at a meets in the future
Was great to see Echoplex, @typhvs!
Here are my slides from the talk in case anyone else wants to read them.
The article I spoke about at the end that gives a delightfully different perspective on how we should structure games is Zach Gage's Designing for Problem Solvers
