Oregon Tech Game Developers

This upcoming Tuesday at 6pm in Purvine 206 we’ll be having a Halo 3 party with our Microsoft rep, 10 Xbox 360s and, the CSET department, and the CSS club. It’s going to be an awesome time to meet some new people and have a good time playing games before this Thanksgiving break.

There will be prizes including Halo 3 and Office 2007. All are invited!

OTGD has been asked to help set up, so if you can, then please get there around 5:30.

Hope everyone can make it!

After much struggle to get people registered, I have finally received confirmation that the Oregon Tech Game Developers is now fully registered as a student organization registered with the IGDA.  I am so excited about this and looking forward to where it takes the group.

Check out the clubs page today!

Jason!

I want to say thanks to everyone who was involved in creating a project for the Text Game Project. Though we had a small supply of entrants, we did have some creative ideas.

Everyone did an awesome job and I’m looking forward to getting my hands dirty and judging these games.

Winners will be posted before the next meeting.

With the beginning of a new school year we already have had a number of new students sign up for the Oregon Tech Game Developers at orientation.  I had a good time being down in K-falls talking to the new software/hardware students that are starting up this year.  I’m really hoping that this will be a very successful year for the club with gaining the interests of students and being able to accomplish a number of projects. 

Looking into the future; we’re planning to have a few people who are actually in the video game industry come and speak to the club, so look forward to that. 

Since I won’t be returning to Klamath Falls till January, Nick Gaston will be taking my place as president and club representative for this fall term.  Nick is a busy guy this term so I’d appreciate it if anyone with experience try to help him out.  First scheduled meeting of the year will be Tuesday, October 2nd at 6pm.  Try and make it and bring some ideas on what we could work on this year!!! 

I’m Out- J!

We now have a few pages up to give more info on what the clubs doing and who is in charge.  Go ahead and check them out!

We’re taking the initial steps to get recognized in the IGDA (www.igda.org). If you have an interest in game development, head over to the IGDA website and become a member!

Our website is currently a blog, hope that doesn’t bother too many people (Nick), but it’s a start…

As of today, OTGD is finally up and ready to start developing some games.

More to come…
