#BLOC54 Games Design Group - February Meeting
Games
This month we'd like to introduce Graham McAllister who has offered to address the group on the subject of play testing games. I'd also like to invite all to nominate, in the comments below, the best game trailers they have seen (for any game) and hopefully we'll be able to view/demonstrate these during the meeting.
The Room is PRETORIA CASTLE on the 2nd Floor of the Holiday Inn.
February meeting:
- The Science of Playtesting - Graham McAllister, Player Research, video games playtesting and UX studio and writes the user research column for Edge Online.
- Best game trailers
- Attendance at GDC
- Last minute networking for the CIIF projects

These guys have done some amazing game trailers, their new reel shows most of them. Most notably Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

I would love to hear from anyone with knowledge or experience of trademarks. Specifically what can we trademark, the process, international trademarks, trademark classes related to games companies, checking for existing trademarks, whether or not its worth the hassle or applicable for games etc
