hey so I called the travellers inn number on the website, and they were all "we have nothing like that in our system". Any ideas?

I had the same response from them, they weren't aware of any arrangement with our group. I was able to get the same price by booking online so it worked out.

thanks, i didn't even bother checking that!

le sigh. I'll give em a call and make sure things are setup. Good to know that our "super special rate" is the internet rate though *rolls eyes*

Correction. No longer need a van or large vehicle. car with backseat and trunk or whatever decent amount of room will do fine for just one trip :3

And I can still pay for the help (not much :P)

I have a car with a backseat that folds down. I sent a message before but maybe it got spam filtered. Let me know if you still need a ride.

Dear Andy,

I sent you two emails with a couple of questions. Please answer them at your convenience.

@Shaun Email me!!! :D coltonjphillips@gmail.com

Would it be ok if I pay my fee in cash when I attend? I also have a friend who will be with me and would like to pay in the same way.

That could be done if absolutely necessary, but if at all possible it would be much prefered if the transaction could be done through the meetup page

Sadly I have no paypal. And In recent issues don't trust credit card info with the internet (call me crazy :P), so I would prefer to pay cash when I attend. Thanks for the reply.

So yesI will be attending. Paying via cash when I arrive at InHub at around 6pm. Chalk me up as two attendees because I am bringing a friend if that is ok.

I'd like to attend - I've been meaning to get into this group and this looks like fun. No recent game/coding experience but I could probably do some art - welcome at this thing?

For sure!

Yay, an artist! We were really short on artists at the last OrcaJam.

Really? I'm not saying I'm any good but I can use tools :D Ok, I'm in! Look for me.

Yea, definitely sign up because I can't draw (on my todo list of skills to develop) and looking to collaborate on an idea I have.

Also - I can bring an old DOS game I worked on from WAAAAY back in the event the theme is Sabotage!/Missile Command clones heh

Woo I forgot to mention I am an artist. And the friend I am bringing is up for sound

Ok to bring your own inspiration (read growler or six-pack) to inhub?

ALSO - anyone from out of town needing accommodation and/or ride drop me a note. We live in town and have car(s). See you all Friday!

I'll be bringing some liquid inspiration myself. :)

Good to know, thanks Andy!

I am getting pretty excited for the weekend.

Yea, same here! First time to a game jam and to Canada so it'll be a weekend of firsts. :)

Any word on what the theme is going to be yet? Or is it going to be announced at the start?

We'll announce it at the event! Around 6:30/7pm Friday.

Awesome sounds good Andy. Can't wait.

It hasn't officially been announced, but it will be 'Steam Punk Themed Alternate WWII Turn Based Tactical Airplane Combat Games'.

If that is really the theme then awesome, if not well now I am disappointed. XD

Woooooooooo! Let's jam! =)

Any word on the pre-meetup at 3?

I think the plan is to meetup at Swan's at about 3 - I'll certainly be there, but maybe not until 4

In case you've filtered out my important emails: pre-mixer party is @ the Canoe Club @ 2PM (on the water at the end of swift street, near chinatown)

I am now done my last lab for the week. Bring on OrcaJam, for I am ready. :D

Hey, harbour air does fancy promotions on Facebook and online. If you are heading vic->van->vic you can snag a flight for $20 if you are lucky! Just be sure to check before 10pm tonight. Sure beats the ferry queue.

Ugh! 2PM? some of us are gainfully employed not student bums! :) Will try to meetup at Canoe Club.

Pfff, student bums?! I'M INDIE! booya, working from the pub.

Woo finally here! :D

Home early tonight. I have no project to work on, just want to have some fun. So if you need some art, writing, or someone to bounce ideas off come see me! I'd like to learn a little more by the time I go home on Sunday/Monday.

Oh, and I will bring some homebrew cider tomorrow if anyone's interested!

Here is our mostly functioning submission. It supports 4 players (but you can spectate). Hit the space bar to roll if you don't want to have to click the roll button.

Hey just wondering but is there any possible game development internship spots that are open in Victoria? I would love the opportunity to learn more in the field.
