Important! Please register for this event at http://aka.ms/fallw8game2 so we can have an accurate headcount for the event. This workshop will introduce higher-level game development tools that produce HTML5 games, including Construct 2 and GameMaker. If time allows, we'll look at additional tools. The workshop will start with a presentation by Technical Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie, and will also provide hands-on time for you to start working with the technologies covered during the lecture portion. Note that this is the second of 3 game development workshops, and you can attend just one, or all three. IMPORTANT
