GDC new year and I am Vice President (Game Dev)

GDC new year

Today just had a meeting at John's house for the 1st meeting of GDC new president (Iris) and vice president - Gaming (Syefri) and me, vice presidnet (Game Dev) and sure, John also, the Founder of GDC MMU. Well, I was late to the meeting, was singing K at LowYat's RedBox. Thats an earlier appointment made with William them, so I have to be there first.

When I reach John's house, they just finish discuss about the Gaming section of the year planning. There are a lot of plans and events going to happen in this academic year. This Gamma going to be crazy. With Syef and John's dedication along witht the support of Iris and the club, i think all this are going to be happen. It's all about gaming - competition, charity play( as what i just heard of) and challenge other college thingy. This going to be great and really looking forward since last year was helping in organizing the LAN Game Competition and got really excited and interested in watching and making a game competition. It is always good to see pro gaming happen around. College-WCG is happening at MMU's MPH next next week. DOTA and CS is the games. keep an eye on it!

After the gaming section, Syef left, he has work to do tommorow. Then me, Iris and John walked to Mamak to grab some food and continue the discussion. Next thing is the topic of Game Dev part for GDC. GDC was too heavy loaded with Gaming events last semester - LGC, DnD, MTG, Live-Action RPG, etc. While GameDev related events were lesser compare to Gaming part - FGCS, Weekly meeting and...? I think this is a new strategy to counter this problem. One president, two vice to focus mainly on their own part of GDC. So GDC can grow equally and parallel in both part.

What is the thing for Game Dev going to happen in GDC. Frankly, game development is not getting much attention and interested people to join and discuss of it compare to gaming. GDC plans to have a Weekly club gathering where in the gathering will try to get some one to give some talk about game development or industry news to fellow GDC member or anyone who interested in game development. The next thing is a Art gallery which open to all by exibit in a close manner, just registered attendees and member can join. Next is Game Programming competition which focus in testing of game related algorithm testing in Lab. Then is Game design workshop which gather people interest in game design together and make a competition and discussion session. Story writing is the next thing which i announce it to all MMU's students and they can submit they story in any form to our GDC's website and vote by the mass. Last event stay the same, which is the most important event, FGCS.

What I did...

Actually the time elapsed since I stop last paragraph to this line of text is around 2 hours later. Been go to Putrajaya (kidnap by someone, ice cream as lure...).

Thursday night I went back to KL to see the fast movie - fast and furios 3, tokyo drift. Well, nice car, nice action, and hot chicks :P For car lover or drift love, this movie is recommended.

Had a good time i guess, sang until sore throat. lol. ahhh....sorry, kind of VERY sleepy, cannot crap anymore :P
