TOPIC: Making Videogames out of Creator Owned Comics
MODERATOR: Rob Stenzinger
DATE: Thursday, August 4, 2011
TIME: 6 – 6:30 pm (right before the Cartoonist Conspiracy Jam)
LOCATION: 1618 Central Ave NE, Ste. 216, Nordeast MPLS

Join us on August 4th for what is looking to be the perfect storm of everyone’s interests: comics and video games. Rob Stenzinger (Art Geek Zoo) will be taking the podium to discuss how to bring your established comic book characters into the video game realm, touching on everything from how your characters’ conflicts, abilities, desires & goals fit game scenarios to the need to limit the scope of your game interface and complexity in order to ever get the damn thing done! I told Rob I’ve always wanted to make a Shanks sidescroller, so hopefully he won’t get sick of answering my inane technical questions.

The Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meets at 6:30 until 10:00 the first Thursday of every month at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe in Northeast.

Afterwards, please join us to draw some jam comics, socialize and drink caffeinated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.

The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).

Please spend some money at Diamond’s while you’re there, even if it is just a cuppa coffee… they are excellent hosts, and we wanna stay welcome there.
