#bloc54 Themed Nights

2

I was planning to start organising some more formal themed nights for #bloc54 and talk a bit about the DC plans for this cluster now that we have a lot more happening. he die is to theme/demo each meeting and also have a more business-related edge to it as well.

Proposal:

October meeting:

  • theme around Hallowe'en / Horror
  • bloc54 network identity

November meeting:

  • theme around casual games
  • more on game dev risk funds.

December meeting:

  • Xmas themed!
  • Talk about the call for CIIF that just opened.

Sounds good, but I don't understand what the theme part is for or what it entails?

For development of the cluster, I think it's important that we have something to talk about where the members of the group can express opinions and discuss the outcomes. So far it has revolved heavily about me providing news. I want to involve others more.

For example, For October, it might be someone showing off their hallowe'en themed game. Or discussing what is right and/or wrong with horror games. Maybe looking at the Army of Darkness and PvZ tower defence games and figuring out what was right and what was wrong?

For Casual games - again some people will look at them from the point of view of Farmville, some others from the point of view of PvZ, Diner Dash or maybe Disc Drivin'. All are casual in their own way.
