If you would like to start a new discussion group please let us know.
Design Discussions
Fall 2011: Every Tuesday from 12:30pm to 2:30pm in Room SUR 2710
These discussions focus on the design of video games from a purely conceptual viewpoint, including such topics and gameplay mechanics, concept themes and background stories. We also hope to encourage the critical analysis of game ideas, and help SFU students to become more comfortable in public speaking, brainstorming and collaboration.
To Review our previous game ideas check out the Design Discussion Archive
Please use the following module for adding new pages from now on.

Technical Discussions
Fall 2011 - Every Monday from 11:30pm to 12:30pm in Room AQ 5004
These discussions focus on the technical side of games including programming, algorithm design, and hardware to name some. Usually we start with a warm up topic and then move on to an open discussion on a topic someone suggests. We also might pick apart an existing game to see or speculate how it was made or talk about how we did something in our own games. We will try to keep a nice balance between beginner topics and advanced topics and explain anything you don't understand in simple intuitive ways.

Development Discussions
Every so often replacing a weekly discussion
These discussions focus on giving members the ability to pitch game concepts, form teams for development, and critique existing game designs developed for external purposes.
