(Nearly) End of Semester Updates

Thought I'd change up the theme here, since Blogger's added a lot of new features since last I played with the blog's appearance.

I should also mention that this club is going to be working with the Software Engineering Club at Shippensburg University, who intends to build an RPG-esque educational game/simulation. The Software Engineering Club has already produced a couple basic games, based on pre-existing concepts; the Video Game Development Club intends to throw some fresh ideas at them, and help where-ever we can in the development process, whereas the Software Engineering Club will teach us proper project management techniques. Hopefully this project will mark the beginning of a long, healthy, and productive partnership.

Finally, the semester is nearing its end, and with any luck, I'll be graduating this year, so in the upcoming weeks we'll be electing a new cabinet, and shortly after that this blog will have a new maintainer. It will be sad for me to finally walk away from this, having been in charge since founding it in 2008, but I feel the club has reached a point where it can function without me, and for that, I'm proud. With any luck, VGDC will become one of the more prominent academic clubs on campus, and a draw for potential students. Thanks for helping me make this a reality, everybody.

Now, let's crank out some more stuff in time for Too Many Games! It'd be a shame to fall short after our first year of real, visible progress. I'm counting on you guys!
