I'm in the LA Times!

Posted by mongoid - November 30th, 2009

I was quoted on the front page of the LA Times (Monday, November 30) in an article regarding UC Irvine's new Video Game Science major and the Video Game Developers Club I help run on campus. My game development course project "Colossal Crisis" got a plug, and you can see it projected over the face and body of our professor Dan Frost.

So if you need a reason why production on Conjurer has been so slow, there it is.

Yay me!

Also, consider this a shout out to all NG members who attend UC Irvine and want to get into game design. Join the VGDC by showing up at one of our weekly meetings! Information on time and location is here.

Congratulations on getting featured in the paper!

The screenshots for Conjurer look incredible as well so I have no doubt that it will have been worth the wait. I look forward to playing it.

If you think you have what it takes to contribute to our game development projects, whether it's programming, art, music, sound design, etc... then get over here.
