  Do you like games? Do you know how or want to learn how to develop games? Do you want to help others develop games?This is the meetup for you to join then. We are a bunch of very laid back developers who come together every two weeks to blow off steam and nerd out a little bit.We talk about games that we are developing, games we have played lately, game we played as kids... pretty much anything that anyone wants to talk about.

• 6 Months of Meetups Party (General Game Development Dissussion)

  Mon, 22 Feb 2010, 00:00 - 02:00 in Schaumburg, United States

  Hey everyone! We have been holding Meetups for 6 months! So what we are going to do to celebrate a little is go out and get some grub and have a good time. No pressure this is just a fun get together among people who like to talk about video games.If you are just joining the meetup feel free to come as well, we always like new people. We usually meet on Sundays but I'm pretty sure I would wake up on monday with my eyes clawed out if I set up the meetup for Valentine's day on a weekend.

• CVGDA January Meetup (How to start developing video games)

  Mon, 11 Jan 2010, 00:00 - 02:00 in Schaumburg, United States

  Are you interested in game development but don't know where to start? Then don't miss this meetup. This one is aimed at giving you a direction that you need to start making games on your own. Dave Fulton is a self taught programmer, and he only started programming 6 years ago. If he can do it you can too! You don't have to know a lot of math to program, you just have to think logically and remember how the computer expects you to talk to it.

• Chicago NW Suburbs Video Game Development Association December Meetup

  Mon, 14 Dec 2009, 00:00 - 02:00 in Schaumburg, United States

  This meetup is about prototyping a play mechanic and thinking through the logic behind a complex idea to try to solve issues that can arise when you are programming a game. At the last meetup we decided to take a stab at figuring out how to create a clue style game that has a more complex system of figuring out who actually committed the crime. This is the problem we will be tackling at this meetup.

• Indie Video Game Dev Meetup November (Smart ways to approach collaborations)

  Mon, 9 Nov 2009, 00:00 - 02:00 in Schaumburg, United States

  In a perfect world you would be able to do everything and do it well. Sadly most of us specialize in one area or another, which is where collaborating with someone who can help take your games to the next level comes in. Finding quality people to collaborate with can be challenging. I know we all have our horror stories, this meetup is about sharing experiences with each other so we can all figure out how we would best want to approach our next or even first collaboration.

• Indie Video Game Dev Meetup October (Copyright Crash Course and Prototyping)

  27-28 Oct 2009 in Schaumburg, United States

  This meetup is all about coming together and supporting each others creativity. We will be demoing some of our work and networking. I can cover what I know of copyright law, and how it pertains to games, if anyone is interested as well. I have been talking to lawyers lately so I am not an expert, but I can pass on that info if enough people are interested. Then after we get to know each other we will do an activity of some sort to get the creative juices flowing.

• Chicago NW Suburbs Video Game Development Association September Meetup

  27-28 Sep 2009 in Schaumburg, United States

  This is the first meetup for the group. We will kinda be feeling this out quite a bit, I will be getting in touch with members as they sign up and if this time does not work for everyone then it might be subject to change. We will be meeting in Starbucks near Woodfield mall, this should allow us to have online access so if you have your laptop handy please feel free to bring it.
