'lo,
This week's talk concerns the horrible plague that scars our minds and unbalances children around the world on a daily basis, and should be banned at once: video games!
The video games industry: design, development, future ===================================================== Date: Thursday 18th May, 20.30 Venue: TBA Speaker: Patrick O'Luanaigh
Author of Game Design Complete and former head of external development at Codemasters, Patrick O'Luanaigh is now Design Director at SCi/Eidos. He'll be speaking to us about the video games industry; in particular, game design, how new games are created (such as the latest Tomb Raider installment) and some possible future trends in the industry. He'll also touch upon the best ways to get into the industry as a graduate.
I'll let you know tomorrow at the latest where the talk will be. Also, if we're really lucky Patrick might be able to show us footage from games still in development. \o/
