Also, GarageGames has posted our new Summer Boot Camp Schedule including a very exciting 'Game in a Day' course at DiGi Pen Institute of Technology in Redmond. This is a great chance to get your hands dirty in the guts of TGB and learn how to kick start your 2D or Casual Games development.

Here are some pictures from our recent Pirates vs Ninja's Party.

Are these going to be held at drinking establishments? I am not actually old enough to drink (just 4 months now), so will i be able to attend?

Davey Jackson (Apr 25, 2006 at 23:41 GMT)

@ Andrew- Yes, these will be at drinking establishments and you need to be of drinking age (see above). However, for each of these dates we will be attending non-drinking events in the area as well (please e-mail me for details) and would be happy to meet with you.

Hmmmm....what to ware? I am a Ninja by training, but a Pirate at heart...this decision will require some meditation...and some rum.

Rubes (Apr 26, 2006 at 00:16 GMT)

What's a guy gotta do to get one of these in Salt Lake City? (And yes, we do have some drinking establishments here!)

Lester Dizon (Apr 26, 2006 at 01:22 GMT)

"Torque Boot Camp: Commercial TGB - $249/seat"

Typo? Last listing in the calendar.

Dave Dunlap (Apr 26, 2006 at 03:15 GMT)

I'm in...Jeff?

Jeff Gran (Apr 26, 2006 at 03:16 GMT)

Fo Sho. CDI will be representing in AZ.

Jesse (Midhir) Liles (Apr 26, 2006 at 08:24 GMT)

I might be at the Redmond thing, it's on my day off...we'll see if I can afford gas for my four-wheeled boat.

N R Bharathae (Apr 26, 2006 at 08:55 GMT)

Unreal... I haven't seen anything like this since the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jon told me Ninjas vs. Pirates was a big deal but I didn't believe him. How wrong I was!

Jon Jorajuria (Apr 26, 2006 at 16:58 GMT)

WTH....I wasn't invited? If you come to AZ, I will be there...funny thing is this is right around the tentative release date for NvP.

Vashner (Apr 26, 2006 at 21:56 GMT)

lol:)

David Merrill (Apr 26, 2006 at 23:04 GMT)

Mmmm... wenches. Nice pics, Davey. When are you going drinking next here in hippie town? It's awful nice outside right now...

No, this is not a typo...the TGB Boot Camps are designed to be as easy as possible for anyone interested to attend. Commonly, we find that travel costs wind up being much more of a challenge for indies than the cost of the TGB boot camps themselves.

I'm in for the Tempe gig. It's about time I left the house.
