Anyway, we&#8217;ve noticed that there were a few Ludum Dare attendants who both happen to live near the Capital Region in New York, and were interested in what we were doing.  As some of you may already know, we hosted Ludum Dare 31 here as a physical location.  What you may not know is that we do more than that: we&#8217;re actively building a game developer community here in the Capital Region.  We have a meeting every Wednesday, weather permitted, and we&#8217;ve scheduled our first 2015 meeting at 6:00 PM, January 7th to discuss this year&#8217;s plans.
