The End . . . maybe not!

We had our game demos on Friday (5/14) morning. In attendance were David Lowenstein of Globaloria, Bill Jones the Wetzel County Schools Superintendent, Debbie Bennett and Bob Gibb of our New Martinsville Campus. It seems like we had just begun the semester and then here we are at the finish. Wow!
But, it may not be the end. Several students want to continue to work on games over the summer and asked if they would be able to use the Globaloria HelpDesk. The answer was, of course, yes. One of the students has suggested a Game/Flash club to keep everyone's skills current while waiting for Game Design II, next spring.
It was really great to see all the enthusiasm from the students. Their presentations certainly impressed those in attendance. I must admit that even though I have been working with them all semester, a couple of the presentations really surprised me with what they had accomplished.
So, congratulations to all for a great semester!

The Journey to Our Destination, Almost There!

Our destination, game presentations, is within sight. This begins our final week and teams are working hard to get as much done as they can. Each will be sitting down with me to review and see exactly where they are, how their presentations are coming along, and what final problems or challenges they need help with.
It is truly amazing to me that we are near the end when it seems we've only just begun. It's been a great class and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching as everyone progressed from not knowing a blog from a wiki to creating games and documenting and sharing their trials and tribulations through their now familiar blogs and wikis.
Congratulations to all and let the game demos begin (on Friday)!
