It’s that time of year again. The 5a7s are up and running, every Thursday from 5-7pm in the Hexagram Game Lab (EV 11.425), and we need ideas for discussions, presentations, theme nights, etc. If you have something you’d like to present, a topic you want to discuss, an idea you want to brainstorm, a game you want to show off or playtest, or anything else that comes to mind, please send a brief description (a few sentences is fine) of what you’d like to do, along with a ballpark date for when you would like to do it, to Carolyn at ckjong@mta.ca. If you’ve never been to a 5a7 you can expect a relaxed atmosphere and lots of lively discussion, with a diverse crowd of students, game developers, and local affiliates. It’s a great chance to get useful feedback in a low-pressure environment, and an opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds who are interested in games, technoculture, and art.
If you’d like to get an idea of what sort of things we’ve done in the past, you can look through previous posts on this blog.
