Enter the Hall of Games at Denver Comic Con 2014

Written by John Edward Betancourt

It's been a whirlwind month for Denver Comic Con.  Incredible guest after incredible guest have been announced and well...it feels like Christmas in the Mile High City.  Such announcements are keeping me up late at night, and not in any negative way.  I simply can't close my eyes without grinning with joy.  

But amidst the incredible announcements and the guests that have left us all star struck it is easy to forget that Denver Comic Con is about taking care of everyone's passion and fandom.  So it should come as no surprise, that for the many gamers out there, DCC announced today how it plans to fuel that gaming fire with the Hall of Games. 

In the Hall you'll find an incredible variety of your favorites.  RPG's, Table top, console, tournament play.  It's all here and in the Vector Lounge, something new for this year, you'll even find classic arcade games, music and other gaming events.  

But when you come to a convention grounded in education, you'll find programming that accompanies your passion and the Hall of Gaming definitely delivers.  More than 20 local and national video game developers will be at Denver Comic Con this year. They will be there to give first hand knowledge of the industry and teach aspiring developers about the business.  What kind of panels can you expect?  Here's a sample: 

·         Getting Into the Games Industry

·         Indie Game Development – Facts and Fiction

·         Building a Videogame in Unity3D

·         Kickstarting Your Game

·         I Have a Great Idea for an App -- What Now?

·         I Want to Make Games – Is School Right for Me?

I have to admit, I have no aspirations to be a game designer or developer myself, but I am going to try my best to get into a few of these panels because why not?  I know nothing of the gaming industry outside of what games I own and that's the beauty of Denver Comic Con.  You can go and enjoy the sights, see the stars and maybe even learn something you never knew before.  See you all at the convention center next month!
