A meeting of the Consortium of game developers

A meeting of the consortium of game developers.

   A few people in the central Florida area have decided to join forces and discuss our successes and pitfalls in game design.  We met late one Wednesday evening; I was glad that Randy Hoyt came, he has designed a successful kickstarter and made a really nice game. He claims that the game itself was not super profitable, but I have to say it has great components and really seems to come together nicely.  He should be proud of what he has done, and he is very willing to let all of us learn from his experience which is very noble.  I gave a copy of siege to a fellow designer and he will blind play test next week.  I hope everyone at swarm of dice likes it. I will give a full report shortly.

    I do think more than ever that novice game designers are all cut from the same cloth.  I met some other great designers to and got a sample of there work.  From what I saw everyone is very passionate and committed.  Most of the games I saw look like they could all be successful.  I will post more on those later too. The last thing I will mention is that a few of us have very aggressive personalities, unfortunately I think I have a little of that in me as well.  I hope just enough to get the job done and not so much to be overbearing.

    I am building displays, and making demo’s so I will post more on that next week…
