Hi folks,
I’m putting together Galway’s next Global Game Jam. Global Game Jam 2019.
Over the last 4 years, Pulse College Galway has brought Global Game Jam to Galway and made it into a landmark game making event for the community. Unfortunately, Pulse College Galway has closed it’s Galway Campus earlier this year and Chris Colston will not be able to continue as an organiser.
Chris reached out to the community and I answered the call. I have run many game jams in the past, and I’m currently on the board of Global GameCraft LtdG. Chris has been supportive of me taking on the role of organiser for this event. I am more than happy to ensure that Galway does not lose it’s Global Game Jam tradition!
I’ve registered with Global Game Jam and will update mindcauldron.com with news over the coming weeks.
“Introduction to 3D Modelling with Blender” is a beginners level course starting this weekend at the PorterShed, Galway. The workshops will be delivered by Trevor Burke, 3D Artist of Howling Hamster Games.
Blender is a free, open-source tool for creating and rendering 3D art and animations. It is used mostly by smaller studios in both the Game and Film/Animation industries, including a few Galway-based game developers.
The course starts this Saturday 24th November, with a second day on Saturday 1st December.
Mind Cauldron will award a certificate of completion participants on completing the course. Please note that these certificates are not recognised by the NFQ, though they may still be a valuable addition to your C.V.
Mind Cauldron is a new game development business in Galway run by Darren Kearney. Darren is an active member of the game development community in Ireland and is the best known for organising game making events locally and nationally.
Ticket price for the course is €100. Ticket booking and more information at https://mindcauldron.clr.events/event/127653:introduction-to-3d-modelling-with-blender
Please direct any course queries to Darren at info@mindcauldron.com
Thanks to the PorterShed for continuing to support the local game development community.
