May 2017 Meeting Announcement
We will meet online using Google Hangouts on Sunday May 14, 2017 at 2pm Eastern Time. No agenda this month. We will be showing off our Spring ’17 game jam games and other games that we have been developing.
Be sure your mic is working prior to the meeting. Also, please mute your mic when not speaking, especially if you are in a place with a lot of background noise. There is a little mic icon in the Hangout window that will allow you to mute yourself.
We are still exploring other options for holding our online meetings. We may move to Skype or some other service, but Hangouts is nice since it doesn’t require invitations to be sent. Any other suggestions are welcome!
Members of Knoxville Game Design created entries for the GM48 22nd game jam. The theme was “Descend”. The games had to be completely created in 48 hours using GameMaker.
Welcome to Drone Delver! The cave exploration drones have gone haywire, and we need your help! They’re only responding to switching positions, but they are able to send signals that effect each other. See if you can figure out how to get to the bottom!
Help the miner escape the caves by avoiding the deadly bats and collecting gems!
