A Saturday afternoon GameMaker Meetup!

This month's meetup is, once again, at Newspeak House! Where we will be providing the refreshments for you. And as always, we will have talks, game developers, and of course mingling.

Speakers:

Zach Soares - Using voxel art in GameMaker

The title really says it all. Zach will be explaining how to go about using Voxel Art in the GameMaker engine.

Zach is a self taught 3D artist and animator who specialises in Voxelart. He's been freelancing voxelart for 5 years and now is making his own game with Coatsink.

Andrew Lemon - Composing Chiptunes and MODs

Andy will attempt to cram as much information as possible into 30 mins on creating music with MOD and Chiptune trackers. From someone who started with Commodore 64 and Amiga computers. Credits include Star-X on GBA, award nominated Polyhedra and Polyhedra XL on iOS, the Commodore 64 DTV, Chu Chu Rocket for Sega on iOS, Iron Fisticle & Iron Crypticle.

Andy has worked on pretty much every console and mobile platform as a sound designer and musician since the original green screened Gameboy; He currently works in academia at London South Bank University as Course Director of the Game Design and Development degree programme and lectures mainly in and around the sphere of Music, Sound and Design.

This is a casual GameMaker Meetup where we will discuss development in GameMaker and game development in general. Feel free to come along if you are interested in GameMaker and game development!

Please contact us if you would like to bring your game to show off, we'd love to see what you're working on! Feel free to bring down a computer and put on your game.

Please note, all donations will go towards the costs involved in running the event. Thank you.
