I would like to make a game dev event happen at noisebridge!
When
Sometime during the evenings, whenever is convenient for interested members.
Where
I think Church would be a good spot to locate it, but I'm open to other spots depending on timing needs.
What you should bring
A laptop if you want to make a software-based game, but its not nessecary.
Format
I'd like to do a single event to make sure that the event is a good fit for Noisebridge, but I'd love to do a weekly event.
10-15 minutes: Me covering what we're doing. (Including one-minute preamble for donations)(May include slides/videos if a large display is available)
0-30 minutes: 2-5 minute (Depending on interested participants) microtalks by anyone participating (Talk about your experiencing making games, talk about your anxieties about creating, promote your kickstarter/project/blog)
1 hour: Working on your game, Playtesting other people's games
First event topic: "Anyone can make a game"
Possible tools
Tools that are great for people starting with game development without technical skills
* Twine
* Puzzlescript
* Paper games
* Screenless electronic games (Makey Makey)
* Technical tools that I've used:
* Unity
* CraftyJS
* Non-technical tools that I haven't used but have heard good things about:
* Game Maker
* Adventure Game Studio
* Construct 2
* RPGMaker
* Street games
Pick a tool that you want to use, but if its Unity, you should start installing it now! (Takes 30 minutes?)
Making games as an individual
What individuals do better than large groups and what is challenging for an individual.
Why you should make games as an individual at first.
Examples of games made by single people in a short amount of time, using the tools discussed, but are still awesome.
* Twine:
* You deserve a custom luxury Sauna
* Puzzlescript:
* Paper games:
* Monsterhearts??
* Screenless electronic games:
* Anna's nipple grabby game?
