Project Wish _ News Posts _ Jerky scheduled to speak at GEEX in July!
Posted by: Jerky Jun 25 2008, 04:06 PM
Next month I am going to speak at an upcoming GEEX (Gaming & Electronics Expo) here in Utah. The topic will be about hobbyist game development:
http://www.geexshow.com/speakers.php
I have a 2-hour time slot to fill, and plan on sharing all my experience from the last 3.5 years working on Project Wish. It should be beneficial to anyone interested in making games and breaking into the industry. I will cover all aspects of development, and try to be informative for people interested in doing things alone, or with a large group, like we are. I hope to convey that the most important parts to "hobbyist" development are dedication, motivation and learning. I also plan on covering Project Management, Art and Artistic Pipeline, Design, and more.
Anyone who is close to Salt Lake City, Utah and might be interested can go check out the conference at:

I am officially scheduled on Saturday, July 19th at 12:00PM
I'd love to meet anyone who is able to come. Wish me luck!

Will there be a recording of this? Feel free to drop my name. I'm not modest

I have heard no mention of them recording it, but I will have a camera there recording it. Most of the interest I have heard so far comes from people who cannot attend. Expect it on our site and/or Youtube when all is said and done.

How long do they want you to speak?

My time slot is 2 hours. 
I figure about 1.5 hours for speaking and up to 30 minutes for questions, or thereabouts.
