Game Meet ---------------Update



For many years now there has been this big debate in the animation & gaming industry , about the difference between games and films. The people working in these diverse fields know what the differences are and why these two streams are different. The confusion has been amongst the so call animation training institutes, who offer both animation and game courses.
For some reasons, they keep saying that creating animation is the same as developing games, which is not true. The confusion is also there because ,some of the software tools, such as Photoshop, Flash & 3d tools like Max or Maya are used in the development of both Animation films & Games. Another reason is that we have a history of making films (not animation films), thus they believe that labeling everything under animation films makes it easy to explain.
The result has been that most students either join a wrong animation program or learn all the software believing that in this way they will be able to make a carrier in both Games & Animation

With the Game meet, our attempt is to educate all the game enthusiasts & players about Game design & Development carriers.
Our goal is to, provide valid proof that to make games one has to be a gamer first & secondly he has to learn the process involved in making games. The sessions will clearly showcase the carrier opportunities in game development & talk about the various skill sets needed for people from different streams to succeed in this field.

This will be the first time that, a large no of young game development professional from Rolocule Games (ex EA), Plassium, Shoonya Games ('Realtime Worlds'Dundee Scotland) , UI design experts from IIT & IIsc.

These experts have the expereince of having worked with game franchises like 'The Sims', Xbox 360 exclusive – Crackdown (http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/c/crackdown/) and the Electronic Arts published Action MMOG - All Points Bulletin (APB – www.apb.com), will interact with you all.
