Where's Davey?
Hello again. It's been a great couple of months here at the Tech'N Tools group (TNT). We've seen the release of two great TGB and TGEA updates as well as the launch of the new 3d Torque X 2.0. Spirits are high here at the Garage and with our associates and remote developers abroad as well. 2008 is getting off to a uber start and we have plenty more lined up with Torque X Builder 3d, and TGB 1.7.3 releases just around the corner.
With a great session of updates and development completed, it's time for me to hit the road again. Here are a few upcoming events I'll be presenting at where I would love to meet you:
North West Youth Career Festival
May 8th at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland OR.
www.nwyouthcareersexpo.org/index.htm
IEEE Technology Summit
May 13th in Las Vegas NV
www2.computer.org/portal/web/techsummit2008/egandid
Game Education Summit
June 10-11 at SMU in Dallas TX
www.gameeducationsummit.com/index.php
I would like to put in particularly strong encouragement for teachers to attend the Game Education Summit. This is a first year conference aimed specifically at teachers interested in starting or improving Game Art, Game Design and/or Game Programming courses. In just a few short months the organizers have pulled together some of the most active contributors to game development education. The speakers are a healthy mix of experienced game instructors, and respected industry leaders including Warren Spector, Dr. Peter Raad and Don Marinelli. You are unlikely to find another group of presenters who are as dedicated to the advancement of game education as this group away from GDC (and at GDC there is too much going on for presenters and attendees to retain a whole lot). Additionally, the Game Education Summit is almost a THIRD of the price of the lowest session ticket prices at GDC. I'll be there, Mike Blenden will be there, Stephen Jacobs, Peter Brinson, Tom Carbone and several other GarageGames comunity members and educators will all be there as well. It's gonna to be awesome! Early registration closes on May 15th, so visit www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=155562 and register fast!
