Game Industry Day 2014 at Friends of Design
Hi everyone.
Some of you might already be aware that we are setting up the Game Industry Day here at Friends of Design. The interest from media industry people, corporates and other design areas is huge. The post went viral so fast that I could not post this invitation here quickly enough. I had to check first if I can provide enough space for what I wanted to offer to you.
What is the event about? From working with my students, being connected to some of the developers here and having trained some of our corporate clients (textbook publishers, media agencies ...) in game technology and how it can be used for their purposes, I know that there is a lot of interest in what you guys are developing and in working with you. I want to provide an opportunity to connect game developers and people that would like to enter the field or have games and interactive applications in general developed for them. Another reason for the event is that people outside the game development community need to know that there is a lot happening in the Cape Town area when it comes to game development and that we have capable developers.
That is why, first of all, I would like to invite all of you to RSVP for the event and come to network and listen to our speakers.
And I would like to offer you some space to show the projects you are working on. I have reserved a room here where you can setup and show the visitors what you are doing. Mweb Gamezone will cover the event as well. We can provide room for about 5 to 7 projects. If you are interested or have any questions, please, just drop me an email and let me know.
We will update the schedule as soon as we have new confirmations and news.

I've booked two seats for Free Lives. At least two of us will come along.
Please consider coming along to the meetup on Wednesday (as suggested in the other thread). It's the last meetup for the year, I expect there'll be a bit of a wrap-up, state-of-the-industry, congrats-on-making-it-through-2014 kind of vibe.
Happy to show off 6x Mass Production if you'll have it, still alpha stage though so will leave it to your judgement (have a UI and level design update coming in about a week as well). I think it could be a good example of using a game to teach... since it is essentially about programming (though I would not put that in a marketing blurb :p)
Starts at 18:30 (for 19:00) and we usually go for a drink afterwards at the nearby pub.
Map of campus since typing address into google takes you to the wrong place
We, Fuzzy Logic, would love to attend if you have space? We're able to show our new game Word Duels, a game we've helped developed for Mediatonic and Microsoft and can also show some of the augmented reality products we've worked on recently.
Do you have more space?
cheers
To set up everything nicely I would like you to come in at around 5pm on Thursday 11th. We are located at 186 Bree Street just across the Orphanage. Anyone who cannot come Thursday in a week, then let me know. Thanks, guys.
:( I was invited to a wedding on the Thursday but didn't realise it was far out of town, so I'll only be back midday on the 12th. Is it still possible to come for the afternoon half of the event? Is there anything planned for afterwards?
So I'll have to give up my raxterworks table, sorry for the cancel! Was looking forward to the talks!
