Last Thursday, I was at my first IGDA meeting. More specifically it was a meeting of the IGDA Chapter Hamburg.
IGDA Hamburg
There was free beer and an interesting presentation by Splitscreen Studios who are working on their upcoming browser-based MMOG Pirate Galaxy. The game itself looks preety good, though their definition of “browser-based” seems to be different from mine. In this case it just means “started from the browser”, as far as I could find out. A few megabytes must be downloaded initially.
IGN has more information on the game itself.
