Postponement of Games Garage 2008

zekez — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:06:11 +0000

Dear Friends,

After much consideration, we have decided to postpone our workshop to a later date.

The majority feedback we received, informed us that the timing is not appropriate. Some of the response we received came from students who are about to graduate and will be facing their final exams soon, or are starting their internships with other companies.

Others mentioned, that the date was too soon and they needed more time to plan in advance.

As some of you have expressed that you hoped that the competition could be held at a later date, we have decided to postpone it, to give everyone that are interested a chance to be part of our workshop.

Thank you for expressing your interest in our game development workshop and for your honest feedback. Do drop us a message if you have further comments, suggestions or ideas you wish us to consider.

We look forward to hear from you and we’ll keep you informed.

Best Regards

Titoonic Asia.
