After the final workshop we will set a date for a PARTY!
The plan is to do a show-and-tell session for you and your friends. Maybe we'll have the audience play through your game together?
When: As of now, workshop dates are TBD... However the plan is to meet once a week to learn, test, and get feedback on your stories from your fellow writers and designers.
Where: A coffee shop, a bar, somewhere in public. Wifi would be great, but it's not important. What we need is a place to talk and share our work.
