October 11-13, 2006 - Full Sail Game Design and Development had their fall Advisory Board meeting, and Matt and Billy attended with other luminaries: George "Fat Man" Sanger, Crister Ericson, Andi Smithers, Gordon Walton, Sheri Graner Ray, Tim Huntsman, Craig Derrick, and Bryant Freitag. We had the opportunity to see the latest class' end of project demonstrations and they were really impressive this year! With the added time that the students are getting in the Bachelor's Program, it's really a much more deep and well rounded curriculum. Here's the flyer they were using to advertise our panel discussion at the school! Awesome!
