What is GDEX?

GDEX is the convention dedicated to a love of games and creative technology, located in Columbus, Ohio. GDEX started in 2013 as a way for the local gamedev community to showcase their projects, and has since grown into the predominant event celebrating all things gaming in Ohio. GDEX features a weekend expo showcase, combined with presentation sessions, vendor areas, raffles, tournaments, and Charity events benefiting Extra Life and AbleGamers. The GDEX expo is a curated showcase of some of the most exciting up and coming developers so that you can see the latest games before anyone else!

GDEX 2017 will be September 29 - October 1st at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio with an expected attendance of 5,000+ from across the country.

GDEX, Where Game Development meets Gaming Culture.

04/24/2013

Design meeting Saturday at noon. If we can get the conference room we will otherwise we will be in the back of the main room. Bring prototypes.

02/18/2013

Design Group meeting on Saturday. We will meet at noon and start with a discussion on what we are hoping to have completed in time for Origins and offer guidance as a group to any interested party hoping to complete something in time. Afterwards we will perform walk-throughs of Dark Domains and Pursue & Plunder. Not actual play-tests, just walking through the game and seeing what we missed and may need.

If you are a designer come, discuss with us, we are very informal and willing to playtest anything. If you want to see how games are fleshed out, join us, this will be an opportunity to see two games being created in their infancy with warts and all.

I hear the pesky 18xx-ers will be playing a huge game in the conference room so we will be in the back corner by the snack area.

01/23/2013

Design Meeting Saturday. Noon. I will try to lock up the conference room early. Bring your prototypes & discuss.

12/24/2012

I will throw out a few ideas I have had as of late.
1) Make a return presence to BGF as a group.
2) Create some progress points for games to encourage members to press forward on their games.
3) Develop each other's games.
4) Create a resource bank where we can go to get help with certain jobs that we are not good at ourselves.
5) Promotion of our completed games.

11/29/2012

Hey everybody, on the 29th of December we will have a real design meeting. At noon in the conference room. We will try to put together an agenda for 2013 and decide what direction we will go. Bring your ideas.

10/24/2012

Design Meeting this Saturday. Carla & I will be in around 10am. Bring your prototypes and let's play.

09/27/2012

Just a reminder everyone that Saturday is design day at CABS. It is hard to refer to them as meetings since they lost all order months ago and I don't have the kind of personality to bring them into line. Carla & I will be onsite at 10 am and have a meeting early and then it is prototypes-prototypes-prototypes. If you are new, look for the people playing the unfinished games and join in.
