LA General Meeting
26 06 2008We love computer games. Hundreds of man-hours are wasted every day playing them. Our children no longer hold boring ol’ storybooks in their imaginations; they dream of virtual one-on-one warfare with grumpy space aliens or demons from the Pit. The gaming industry is BIGGER THAN MOVIES. And most of them require animation. How do we break off a piece of that pie?
Join us on Thursday, July 17th for our next General Meeting: “You’ve Played ‘Em, Now Make ‘Em: Careers In Game Development”. We’ll asking a panel of creators from large and small game developers, including Lance Powell of Electronic Arts and Tim Trzepacz of softegg.com (this just in: Bill Kroyer will also join the panel to talk about his experiences in gaming) what it takes to develop a game from first concept to final release, and what skill sets these companies looking for.
Join us at the beautiful DreamWorks campus (1000 Flower Street, Glendale, California) on Thursday, July 17th, 2008. Schmoozing and networking begins at 6:30 p.m., and the meeting proper starts at 7:00. Finger food and soft drinks should be available. Please RSVP early; we’re expecting a lot of interest in this event.
To RSVP, please call the Hotline at (310) 535-3838 or email LAchapterrsvps@aol.com before Tuesday, July 15th. Non-members are asked for a $10.00 donation: members are free. We look forward to seeing you!
