Independent Game Development

Bist du bereit für das Spiel des Sommers? Dann mach dich bereit für **BOUNCE IT**! Sei jetzt exklusiv am Launch-Tag dabei und nimm an einem der deutschlandweiten Turniere teil, um BOUNCE IT als Erstes auszuprobieren und deine Wurffähigkeit beweisen zu können! **Zum Turnier** An mehreren Standorten in ganz Deutschland kannst du BOUNCE IT exklusiv kennenlernen, dein Können unter Beweis stellen und außer jede Menge Spielspaß noch tolle Preise abstauben! **Zu BOUNCE IT** BOUNCE IT ist ein Geschicklichkeitsspiel, bei dem unterschiedlich große Bälle in die Spielverpackung geworfen werden und dabei vorher einmal auf dem Tisch aufkommen müssen. Doch dazu gehört auch noch Taktik, denn du entscheidest bei jedem erfolgreichen Wurf, ob du weiterspielen und um höhere Chips spielen willst. Dann muss aber auch dein letzter Wurf gelingen, denn sonst verlierst du den Fortschritt dieser Runde und gehst leer aus! Und dein Gegner darf da weiter machen, wo du aufgehört hast… Die genaue Spielanleitung erfolgt natürlich am Anfang des Turniers an dem jeweiligen Standort. **Zu den Teilnahmebedingungen** Informationen zu anderen Standorten und den Teilnahmebedingungen findets du [hier](https://www.denkriesen.com/pages/lp-bounce-it-turnier)! **Zu den Kosten** Die Kosten des Turniers variieren von Standort zu Standort, da hier individuelle Eintrittspreise anfallen. Die Eintrittskosten gehen nicht an die DENKRIESEN sondern an den jeweiligen Standort. Wenn Kosten anfallen, werden sie hier auf MeetUp ausgeschrieben. Die Turniermaterialien werden von den DENKRIESEN gestellt, aber die Turniere von den Standorten durchgeführt.

💜 This event will take place at Other Nature and registrations must be made through their website and NOT through MeetUp: [https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night](https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night) Join us for an evening of connection, play, and reimagining relationships! The Relationship Design Game is a card deck that invites you to explore your true desires and rethink conventional relationship norms. The game's creator, Mariana Cerejo, will welcome you and then, in small groups, we'll play the game together. Through their prompts, the games create space to rethink relationships according to your own needs and desires, and to cultivate communication, honesty, and respect. There will be space for sharing personal experiences, gaining different perspectives, supporting one another, listening, and being listened to with empathy. This is not a dating event, but an opportunity to reflect, learn, and exchange perspectives on relationships, community, and sexuality. The evening warmly invites non-monogamous/relationship anarchist people, as well as anyone who is curious about reimagining relationships beyond the scripts and power structures of monogamy, heteronormativity, and patriarchy. Mariana Cerejo has spent much of my her life asking why relationships have to fit into molds that don’t serve us. As someone who isn’t naturally extroverted or highly communicative, she realized that she needed dynamic and thought-provoking tools to facilitate conversations that could free her from those molds. That’s why she created the Relationship Design Game, the Sexuality Design Game, and the Community Design Game. Mariana is a designer who developed these tools in collaboration with psychologists and people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, with the goal of making them as inclusive as possible.

**Melodic Masterpieces** *an open Music Creation Session for Producers, Singers & Songwriters* This program is structured into a repeating 4-week cycle, with each week focusing on a key stage of the music creation process—from initial inspiration to a fully mixed production. At the end of each month, the cycle resets back to Module 1. This allows for continuous repetition, progressive skill-building, and flexible entry at any stage of the cycle. The workshop is led by **experienced producers who have worked with major artists, record labels, management teams, and global brands**, bringing real-world industry insight into the creative process. This workshop is designed for **beginners / intermediate-level participants.** ‍ > Connect with fellow Musicians, develop & turn Your ideas into finished tracks. **Module 1: Music Theory, Sample Selection & Sound Design** This module covers the core foundations of music creation. Participants learn essential music theory concepts, how to choose effective samples & how to design original sounds. The focus is on building a strong sonic and musical foundation for ideas & tracks. **Module 2: Beat & Groove Programming** Development of rhythm, drum patterns, and groove-based elements. This module focuses on timing, swing, layering, and creating dynamic, modern beats that support vocals, songwriting & production ideas. **Module 3: Vision, Songwriting & Recording** This module focuses on artistic direction and expression. Participants develop song ideas, lyrics, and structure, and (if applicable) record vocals or musical ideas. The goal is to transform creative concepts into tangible recordings. **Module 4: Arrangement & Mixing** The final stage of the process. This module focuses on arranging the full track into a coherent structure and applying mixing techniques such as EQ, compression, spatial processing & balance to create a polished, release-ready sound. **Feedback & Review Session** At the end of each cycle, there is a dedicated feedback round where participants receive constructive critique on their work or ask questions. This session focuses on identifying strengths, improving technical and creative aspects & giving clear direction for the next iteration of their projects. > It’s a great way to connect with fellow Artists, Producers & Songwriters in Berlin‍ **SIGN UP & TICKETS:** No registration needed.

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

This week is national unplayed games week, so we encourage you to break out those shrink-wrapped games you bought on a whim but haven't had a chance to try yet. Do your best to learn the game ahead of time to facilitate the process! let's get those dusty ones to the table! The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
