Couldn't of said it better myself Anthony. But yes I will be keeping VAGUE in the loop about community events like the game jam so I'll be sending out further details on the Game jam we have coming up the weekend of the 11th. Just a heads up for all those already interested it will be Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC), however internet and power will be provided. I Look forward to seeing you guys.
