Posted by Rampant Coyote on November 20, 2015

Another one for Utah locals. I won’t be at this one, but many of my fellow indies will be. Tomorrow is International Game Day at the Viridian Events Center in West Jordan, Utah. While board games are a focus, it’s not exclusive: “International Games Day is Saturday, November 21st from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm […]

It’s About Time… For A Game Made in No Time!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 27, 2015

Do you want to do a game jam, but you can never find the time? Well, courtesy of the weirdness that is Daylight Savings Time, the time has been found for you… This is a game jam that by a quirk of procedural custom takes place in zero time. You start at 2 AM and […]

Report from the Three-Day Geek Party

Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 28, 2015

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends… Well, okay, it does come to an end, or at least a hiatus. Although between FanX, Comic Con, the new Salt lake Gaming Con, Steamfest, Winter Faire, Anime Banzai and the like, geek partying in Utah is a pretty regular event. Meanwhile, I try to […]

Utah Game Wars 2015

Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 18, 2015

The awards for Utah Game Wars 2015 was Wednesday night. This is an annual event that I haven’t attended or participated in before now. Half of the event was private for the judges and the finalists, and then they let the rest of us in for food, games, and the award ceremony. The game devs […]

Of UDEN, the VOID, and the Coffee House Six

Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 3, 2015

Last night’s UDEN (Utah Digital Entertainment Network) meeting was held at a place called “Church and State,” a non-profit “business incubator” that offers office space to small businesses inside what was once a historic church building build in the 1890s. As the last time I attended, it was a very entrepreneurial-focused meeting consisting of announcements, […]

The Hugos: The Kindergarten Bestest Friend Award

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 28, 2015

I was going to write a big article about the 2015, and the travesty that went down this year with the Hugos.  In fact, I did write not just one, but two articles about it. But I wasn’t happy with either one. In the end, I wasn’t really contributing much, in spite of both of […]

Utah Unity User Group Meets

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 14, 2015

Last night was the inaugural Utah Unity User Group (with the rather amusing acronym UUUG). I found it even more informative than I expected. The group included experienced Unity users as well as interested newcomers, so the skill level was pretty varied. Jeff Postma’s formal presentation on Unity’s new 2D tools was  valuable as expected, since […]

Another view of Salt Lake Gaming Con

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 11, 2015

While I’m still recovering from basking in the fading glow of Salt Lake Gaming Con 2015, I thought I’d share a link from Josh Sutphin of Kickbomb Entertainment and co-founder of the Utah Games Guild. He had a somewhat bigger view of the whole event than I did. Utah Games Guild: Salt Lake Gaming Con 2015 […]

Frayed Knights Adventures at Salt Lake Gaming Con 2015

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 10, 2015

Three days of Frayed Knights 2: The Khan of Wrath?  Yeah. It was a party. A three-party that left me exhausted and without a voice, but a party. Over the weekend, I ran a booth at the inaugural Salt Lake Gaming Con. I was with the Utah Games Guild Arcade, which was really an awesome […]
