   Hello all

   My name is Evan Galasso. I work at the Willoughby-Eastlake Public Libraries and am hoping to start up a program in our libraries for game design. For the game industry to really boom, we need our communities to realize that this is a very viable career opportunity. I recently enrolled at the Art Institute Online, but thats not the only way to learn how to create video games and harness creativity.

   I look forward to getting some feed back and getting involved with the Initiative in any way possible.

   Thanks

   Hi Evan,

   Sorry for the slow response here; things are in transition on the site, and many of the regular posters are busy putting together a new game development certificate/degree at Lorain Community College.

   Needless to say, I whole-heartedly agree with what you've said - that is the main reason I started the Northeast Ohio Videogame Initiative! If you are available, I encourage you to attend the monthly Game Developer Meetup group, held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, and hosted by Scott Baker (usually at the Wine Bar on Market Street in Cleveland - details can be found at gamedev.meetup.com/69).

   Specifically toward your plan to start a game design program at the library, I would love to chat with you about that more. If I don't see you at the next meeting, feel free to contact me at daniel@neogameinitiative.com.

   Cheers,
   Daniel
