Title: Chicago indie meetup
Post by: synapse on September 02, 2008, 06:54:00 PM
Are there any other indie game developers in the Chicago area interested in meeting up?

There used to be semi-regular Chicago indie meetups back when I was in Chicago. Looks like a lot of the regulars have moved.  Goodluck organizing something!

Come on, Chi-town developer-gamers.  Let's get a nerd party going so I can dust off my people skills.

I can always stop by. If I forget I'm usually sleeping under the lion at the art institute.

I'm not quite a developer, just a musician, but I'm busy for the next two weeks anyways. FINALS!

I actually have a 3~4 hour layover in Chicago on the 20th of this month, between 3 PM and 6:30 PM... And then again on the 31st from 9 AM until 2 PM o_O

I'd be down to meet up with you guys for a couple hours if it fits in any of those time slots.

I'd be down,
also http://www.newwavecoffee.com/ is only about 20-30mins from the airport on the blueline

31st might work for me, if I won't be in St. Louis, which has a 50% chance.

Yeah, I'd much like the 31st as well seeing as I'm going to be stuck there with nothing else to do for about 5 hours... Though it is pretty early and I'd definitely have to be back no later than 1:30 so I don't miss boarding, etc.

Are you guys all programmers?  What languages do you use?


Title: Re: Chicago indie meetup
Post by: phubans on December 13, 2010, 09:36:51 PM
I'm a designer first, artist second, and programmer last. I can only make games with GML script, so that hardly even counts.

Yeah, it seems like this would be a fun meetup.  Someone with organizational skills should organize it!
