We will have our first dev session of the semester tonight at 6:00 pm. Be sure to come. Prior experience is not required nor expected.

Also, stop by our Festifall table. I have heard that out table is not busy enough yet.

Dev sessions will take place on Wednesdays for what remains of the summer. Please see the events pages and calendar for details.

As regards IGF, it looks as though we hope to have three good submissions come October 15. Relevant links include the IGF homepage, the Student Showcase Section of their about page, the General Submission Rules, the Student-Specific Submission Rules, and finally the Awards Information.

More information on our projects will be forthcoming at a later date.

Who needs 'Halo' when there is BOND! Hope you still remember how to play. Bring friends. Bring controllers if you'd like, we have some however for you to use if you don't have one.

This tournament will be a singles tournament. Rules determined on spot by those playing, and me.

We should have the frequent gamer cards to give out at this tournament like the last one. These cards will be used to tally a gamer's attendance, if he/she brought equipment, if he/she won, and keep a total points system for the entire semester. At the end of the semester additional prizes (like $50 Meijer cards, games, shirts, other good stuff) will be given out to those based on their total points.

Hope to see you all there,

Applicants are required to be full-time college students (or equivalent) and IGDA student members for consideration. Scholarship applications will be judged by a panel of professional game developers.

I probably should have posted these sooner, but better late than never...
