Underwater Tomato Ninja: Beginning Game Development

One thing I know for certain: this workshop will invove the Underwater Tomato Ninja.

What workshop you say? I've been making a game development workshop. Or perhaps it's a series of workshops. Or then again perhaps it's a game based workshop to make a game.

Along the way I've played with many ideas as to the workshop's form and flow. As I've been coding, writing, and designing away these last few months I've followed my muse and love for the subject a bit too much. On one hand it's great to have generated a bunch of material, on the other I need to keep the live presentation version of this thing to an hour. 

The workshop is for beginners to intermediates, looks at both design and development, and uses HTML 5 + JavaScript as the game platform.

Whatever shape it finally takes, I'm excited to be presenting it at Kids Read Comics in July and at Lean Into Art in a different form with a date to be announced!
