11/16 Developer Talk + Secret Santa Exchange!

Hey everyone! A big thanks to everyone who participated in the Twine jam this weekend - there were some great games! You can view and play the submissions here

We're very excited to have our last guest speaker of the semester at our next meeting on November 16 at 5:30 MST (AZ time). We'll be doing a Q&A with Jeremy Lecus, a developer with quite a few titles under his belt and current technical producer at Cryptic Studios. He's worked on games such as D&D Neverwinter, Magic: Legends, and Star Trek Online. Previously, he has also worked as a producer at Warner Bros on Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and as a producer and QA lead at Telltale games on titles such as Minecraft Story Mode and The Walking Dead. We don't always get to hear from people with this much experrience, so we hope as many of you as possible will join us on Twitch . Be sure to bring your questions!

If you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to submit questions in advance on our Discord. The meeting will be saved on Twitch and available to view for another 2 weeks. 

We're also coming up on holiday season! In the past, it's been our tradition to end the semester with a white elephant gift exchange. Since we obviously can't do that this year, we are going to have a virtual Steam gift exchange during our last meeting (November 30th) instead! There will be a a bot going live on our Discord server soon, and you can sign up for the exchange through there. 
A few rules:
- Participation is entirely voluntary! You do not need to participate. However, you must give a gift in order to get one.
- The spending limit is $15. Please do not go over this amount when purchasing your gifts.
We will announce more details on how it will work soon!

Lastly, our Officer Intern applications close this Thursday, November 19th!  Fill out this form to applyWe will be contacting applicants shortly to schedule interviews for the weekend of the 20th - 22nd, and interns will be announced at next week's meeting on the 23rd.
