LEVEL UP

LEVEL UP is a group designed to keep the local Game Design community in touch with each other, share resources, and learn from each other's experience & knowledge.

Programmer? Artist? Writer? Sound Technician?

Experienced? New?

Work alone? As part of a team?

It doesn't matter - we are all equals here. Come on down and make some new friends!

While we do focus on Video Game Design, we recognize that all games - physical, sports, card, board, etc. - all have valuable and intriguing aspects, and we don't turn anyone away!

First time was a great experience, just sorry it didn't last longer or that I was able to talk to more people. :-)
