ayaw sah mo kaexcited about ani oi

bro,

if we're forming a team of experts to make games. ok. gamay ra kailangan. (I'm in pud..)
but we're forming an Association of game dev's here.

dili pwede mapili ug members para sa association. tanan interested pwede. even hobbyists, flash developers. and not just the desktop. apil mobile, web.

team != association.

so lets make a distinction between the game Association and game dev team you're forming.

there might even be more than one team in the association.

one clear goal of forming a Game Dev Association is to cultivate and develop skills of the cebuano game developers.

sori bai, kaw may naguna2 aning game association ug gigamit nmo akng [istorya]name sa imo original post na wla gani ko alamag about ani imo association kay ang ako kay group ra man(a small group to be exact), i just find it imposible since wla pa gani ta kaporma ug himu ug group, association dayun imo giplan. My plan is a small group that wants to learn 3d game development (since didto man na thread na porma ang idea) but not a game dev association since wla pa tay right ana kay wla pa ta kasulod sa industry, dapat ang maguna ana kay katong naa na sa industry specially GDAP affiliate company.

maybe we should meet already. katong nasulod qualification. 5 or more naman kaha. we'll form the association separately after that

@cebugdev

sori pub bai. i thought we had the same idea when i was reading your email. we should definitely meet na. communication isnt always clear on text. happy birthday diay.

wa ta sa industry .. wa tay right

we don't need to be in the industry. and who says wa tay right. anybody can start an association. this is still a free country right? // despite the hostage fiasco //

well i actually am in the game industry. been doing flash games, web games, mobile games, since 2001. and still doing game dev jobs now. recently been porting games from iphone to android.

if GDA comes to cebu to form the assoc here or an affiliate, i'd be happy. they came for a talk last month - i didn't catch it -

[icedman]

graphics artist.. concept art..

yes graphics artists. pang apil mo sa assoc. a client actually is said if we have a professional game design studio here in cebu he would outsource his graphics design. kay mahal daw sa ila.

2 cebuano artists, 2 sugbo-anon coders could actually make a better Mafia Wars right.. anybody agree?

farmville? < i know i can code an 2.5d isometric engine in flash. and i'm sure there is someone out there in IT park, Sykes, who posts in deviantart and can make better graphics


lets form that association y'all

/// or if you're intimidated with the word association..

lets call it Cebu Game Developers 1st Friday Club (we meet on the 1st Friday of the month, of course)

[mmarabillas]

Vision: ??
1.Goal:Cultivate and Develop skills of local Game Developers (icedman)
1.1.Purpose:Create an association of cebuano game developers.
1.1.1Output:Many cebuano game developers will join the association
1.1.1.1Input:Invite hobbyist, professionals, coders, artist, game designers
1.2.Purpose:Learn 3D game development and improve skills (cebugdev)
1.2.1.Output:Many passionate learners will join and learn the art and science of game dev
1.2.1.1Input:Invite passionate learners of game development

Since kita man ang concern sa output sa ato group. Kinahanglan pa ta og user requirements from members for the game. Next are project proposals and screening. member(Resource) allocation. Then risk analysis and mitigation.
Usa sa ako concern kay motivation of the members. Since we can't earn money yet with our tasks. Risky cya bacn mobackout ang mga crucial members.

I can put up a task/bug/issue tracking website(Mantisbt)..Also a website for the group(Joomla)..I need a "good to go" signal from icedman or cebugdev..

We'll see how this group goes na lang..hehehe =)

EDIT:
Daghan man interested na flash developers..
For flash developers:
Unsa inyo plans for the group?(i.e.Flash game creation(Unique cebuano/filipino game), learn and apply new techniques,game collaboration)

For darkhero's concern, opengl or directx. maybe both na lang? do we have members capable?

Also we need to structure the group..Dapat naay inform and approval system from seniority or necessary planners..I-manage lang na2 og tarong ang group para dili gubot..Ang dili ganahan sa bureaucracy og ing.aning mga churva pede ra dili moapil..Politics can get dirty baya..Anyway input from members are necesary since we are our own stakeholders and customers for the moment...
