   GameDev Gamers Steam Community now up and running
  For those of you who play Steam games (counter-strike, Half-Life 2, Day of Defeat, etc.), I have made a Steam community called GameDev Gamers (GDG) for GameDev members to come together and have some fun. We will have events weekly, consisting of a broad list of games, though Counter-Strike source will likely be the favored choice most of the time. We will try and use voice chat to greatly increase the co-op gameplay experience and create a friendly environment. One without intentional TKing and 11 year olds screaming into the mic.Being part of GameDev, I take this group seriously and plan to start a small workshop within the group where we can create our own maps, mods, or anything else within Valve SDK Editor and play them together for fun and constructive feedback. I also hope to obtain enough talented mappers and programmers so that we can come to one another for help and learn from each other.As some of you may recall, I attempted to make a GameDev gamers group several months ago but due to the lack of communication resources, it was too difficult to for people to keep in touch with the schedule and it never got off the ground. Now, with the new Steam Community, it's gonna be easier than ever. As of right now, the group is up and available for anyone to join. Those of you with a GDNET plus account have the automatic privilege of being an Administrator. Don't be drawn back by the quality of the page at the moment; when my PC gets out of the shop I'll be able to remake a much nicer logo and update the profile further. Everyone in the group will be able to:-Keep posted on scheduled events-Private message one another-Track game play stats-Use Voice chat in-game or outPLEASE NOTE THAT:*Everyone here with a Steam account is welcome to participate regardless of skill or experience*There will not be an attendance requirement, though it would be great if you could participate in events when possible.*If you're interested, simply go to the link above, sign into your Steam account and click Join.*Everyone will have the chance to host their own serverHopefully enough of you will recruit to get this thing going. I hope to see the many of you who signed up for the group last time and I apologize for its failure. This time however, things are going to be a hell of a lot easier! :)Thanks,-Taran[Edited by - Taran Shiro on September 13, 2007 9:13:03 PM]
