Tyler, Texas ClickJam: General discussion

[4moretech]

Hi everyone!

My name is Joel Christiansen, and I will be supervising the ClickJam 2012 event in Tyler, TX. My background is in 2D/3D game art and design; I have been a video game artist/designer for the last eight years, and I am currently Professor of Game and Simulation Development with Tyler Junior College.

I first picked up Multimedia Fusion 2 about 3 years ago, and it is still by far one of my favorite programs. It is my privilege to be part of a global game jam using this amazing software, and I am really excited to see what all you mad genius game creators out there will come up with for this event!

The Game and Simulation Development Program at Tyler Junior College is pleased to welcome everyone to ClickJam 2012 Tyler, and I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Hi, Joel. I have made some very basic games with MMF2 for my history students to use to learn material and study for tests. I would like to learn as much as I can about how to make games that really rock. My knowledge is limited, but I know there is so much power in the MMF2 program for those who gain a good command of how to use it. So, I'm considering attending your clickjam in Tyler. By the way, can you post some info on where to park on campus. Thanks.

Hi 4moretech, I am really happy to hear that you are considering attending ClickJam 2012 Tyler!

I posted some directions earlier in this thread to help everyone navigate through TJC campus to the event location... ClickJam is being held in the Pirtle Technology Building which has a huge parking lot right behind it, so feel free to park anywhere in the general vicinity of Pirtle (except the faculty-only parking area).

It looks like we will have some experienced MMF2 users in attendance at this ClickJam, so if you are looking to see the real power of MMF2 unleashed I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed! If you have any further questions let me know--hopefully see you at the jam.

I posted general information about the event (including directions to the location) on page 1 of this thread--check it out and let me know if you have any further questions. I look forward to seeing you at ClickJam!
