May Monthly Meeting featuring Jacob Schwartz

By | General, Meetings, Presentations | No Comments
So Indie

Local indie game creator and concrete wall enthusiast Jacob Schwartz.

This is a reminder of the monthly meeting for May taking place Monday, May 6th. This month, we will be featuring a presentation by Jacob Schwartz, creator of iso and other fine games. Jacob will be presenting a post-mortem on his latest game: Ragdoll Boxing: Match of the Century. Anyone interested in releasing a game independently and/or through the Apple app store will definitely want to come out for this.

Also! We will be featuring a Super Secret Surprise Guest. Who could it be? I’m not telling. You’ll have to come out and find out yourself.

We have the pub patio area reserved (which is covered and heated) and a ton of space. There are 3 TVs that we can hookup to and display slides or show off your current projects.  Come relax, talk shop and enjoy the awesome local food and craft-brewed beer.

The meetup will kick off with presentations and then transition into free-form networking.

Schedule:

  • 5:00pm: Doors open
  • 5:30pm: Opening announcements by group organizers
  • 5:35pm: Featured presentation
  • 6:30pm: Open stage for show-and-tell, networking and socializing
  • 11:00pm: Venue closes

See you there!

Monday, May 6th

Christie’s Carriage House Pub

1739 Fort Street, Victoria, BC

We’ll be in the patio area. Straight through the front doors, hang a right behind the host station and go through the patio doors.

Please RSVP via the Meetup event: The Main Event. We need to let Christies Pub know how many people to expect. Thanks!

Local Studio Cedar Hill Games Releases Emissary of War

By | General, Local News | No Comments

Emissary of War TitleVictoria game developers Cedar Hill Games have just launched a new hack and slash dungeon crawling adventure called Emissary of War. Currently available for iOS platforms through the AppStore, and with an Android version in the offing sometime in the future, Emissary of War is the second game to come out of this young studio. To find out more about how Cedar Hill Games came to be, check out this two-part series written by founder Tobyn Manthorpe on Gamasutra: part one, part two.

It’s great to see new game companies making a start in Victoria and I hope that everyone in the community will join with me in welcoming Cedar Hill Games and supporting them in their latest project and for all projects to come. Congratulations Cedar Hill!
