Houston Gaming and Media User Group I'm Oz... one of the user group leads. I play video games and I'm a software developer, but I've never written my own game. But the idea of the group is just that, helping me and many other people get in the right track, and based on practices and examples, build something that will serve as the starting point for building games.
