Posted project update #8We're playing with 3601 gameful monsters and counting...
Post CommentHello Gameful backers!
8 months after the launch of our secret headquarters gameful.org, we've got a thriving community of 3601 gameful monsters and counting.
With 242 groups and more than 1500 discussion topics, we're sure you'll meet at least one new ally and stumble onto one amazing resource every time you log in...
This month, we're launching 3 new game design challenges to keep you busy all summer long prototyping and playtesting worldchanging games!
This summer, you'll also meet plenty of fellow gameful monsters at real-world events like the Games for Change Festival (http://gamesforchange.org/festival2011/) and Come Out and Play (http://www.comeoutandplay.org/).
We just wanted to say: Thank you for making Gameful possible, and be sure to stop by and say "Fiero!" to your fellow monsters. \o/
Jane, Nathan, Matt & Kiyash
