Game Design Special Interest Group on 12th of December
Find your inner game jam’er and sketch-up a cool game concept in 2-hours! This is a warm-up for Nordic Game Jam 2012 in analog version.

Participants will be divided in groups – themes will be handed out – roles will be given to each participant – and then brainstorming/development can begin! During the jam – we will also have some extra candy (read: challenges!)

At the end of the game jam, each group will present their game concept. You can perform your sound design as a human beatbox or you can perform your game mechanics as acrobatics or your code as a theater play! Or…. it is up to you!

We will also have glögg and ‘æbleskiver’ during the event.

The team with the best game concept will win Nordic Game Jam t-shirts!

What: Warm up to Nordic Game Jam 2012!
When: 12th of December 2011 at 18:00 – 21:00

Audio Special Interest Group on 28th of November
Procedural sound programs generate music and sound effects in real time in a game, rather than playing back pre-recorded loops and samples. In this talk Michael Rose from DTU will give an overview and examples of how a game composer and sound designer can apply procedural sound techniques using the Supercollider sound programming environment. You can download the program here:http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/

Bring your lap top – lets play!

Unity Special Interest Group on 17th of October
Ole Ciliox and Kuba Cupisz from Unity Technologies - http://unity3d.com/ - will be presenting various graphics techniques using depth and normals buffers.

The methods range from improving standard techniques such as particle effects, to creating entirely new ones, like approximate volumetric effects, and advanced image post-processing. The buffers used are in many cases the natural products of the rendering pipeline and offer a way to infer surprisingly much information about the scene, thus allowing for very rich and fast graphics effects. The session can be followed both by artists and programmers, as it discusses the possibilities of the post-processing effects and their technical side.

What: Unity – Visual special effects with depth
