Come out to Vincent Massey today and get your beef on with the dirty rectangles and local developers for this months IGDA event! We got tons of food to go around so come help us eat it before it goes bad!
This month due to schedules we wanted to try something different and we took a week for the electricity blast. Only two projects were developed this time and only one was “finished” (if there is such a thing).
