Jades, Obstacles and Pizza – Nov 2018

This evening’s meetup featured:

  • Jades – a game which Josh is working on using RPG Wizard, Josh’s pet project HTML5/JS game engine.
  • Obstacles – which Darren made at the last UL Gamejam.
  • welcoming a new member to the group, and
  • Woozza pizza!

During today’s meet up we played each others games and discussed a bunch of topics.

Notably we chatted about game engines, recent game industry news surrounding the fan reaction to Activision Blizzard’s accouncement of Diablo Immortal, and what each of us are focusing on learning next.

We also talked a little about about health and well-being among developers, how to avoid neck and shoulder injuries from using computers for extended periods.

As an important aside, Gad clearly achieved the Obstacles top score for the night. Congrats!

See you again for the next meetup on Dec 4th.
