Hi, This is just a follow up mail for those who were not able to attend the GDC-NSIT meet.
After quite some amount of discussion with everyone we decided that for a starting we would be working on 2D desktop games and web based games. This is a google doc with the list of games we would be working on , with the list of people who are interested in working on each project. : http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQ5Ly--LlZmSZGZmZmpwZzdfMTMwZmZjY3Q2Z2c&hl=en Also, we have decided to document our work at the NSIT Online wiki, under the Game Development Club section. Also, to coordinate our work we have made a google sms channel for everyone to be updated about who is working at what thing and where in campus. @GDC members: you are supposed to send a message here, whenever yoou are free and thinking of working on the game. I am pretty sure many people would join you. Here is a link to the sms channel : http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/gamedevclubnsit?key=7950163013005590070 As for those people who were not able to attend this one please join the above sms channel. You would probably remain aware of our next meet. Probably tomorrow :) Regards, Mohit Taneja On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 5:41 PM, Mohit Taneja <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Recently, I have been talking to a few NSITians who are interested in Game > Development.
