No Meeting This Week — But One Next Week

Sorry everybody, I wasn’t able to book a room this week for our meeting.

Next week, we will be meeting on Tuesday because the University is closed on Monday.  We will meet at 5-7 PM in GB221.  From then on, we will meet on Mondays weekly until the end of the term in the same room and at the same time.

Week of October 5th Meeting

I mentioned this week that we would start having our meetings on Mondays, though I wasn’t able to schedule a room for tonight.  I’ll schedule a meeting for this week, again on Thursday, and also schedule a meeting for the following week, on Monday.

Next Monday, we will cover how to start making a game.  On Thursday this week, we’ll have a less formal discussion.

Stay tuned today for meeting times and locations.

Second Meeting

Hi all,

We’ll meet this week again on Thursday at 5-7 PM in BA1240 — same time and same place.

Next week, we’ll have a different meeting time, which will probably be on Monday.  Stay tuned; we’ll schedule it before the meeting this week.

Facebook Group

I thought I would point out that the GDDC does have a facebook group, named simply U of T Game Design & Development Club.

Not much happens there, but it is an easier way to connect with a specific person if need be.
