MEGA is the main student club for making games. The Makers of Entertaining Games Association (MEGA) is a student run organization which strives to promote and facilitate the art of game creation within the University of Southern California. We are a community of students from many disciplines who meet at open weekly meetings, in which members share information on current projects, discuss relevant news, and host guest speakers from all corners of the industry.

How do you know if your game concept has hit potential? Here is a great talk from Casual Connect 2013 on this subject on “Finding the needle in the haystack”.

There are lots of talks about the process of prototyping, but no hints on how to evaluate them to make the decisions. In this talk Antti Hattara, Head of Studio at Wooga, will tell how to evaluate prototypes and recognize the ones with great potential from the rest Antti will talk about the mobile developer’s creative and agile approach to finding those needles in a haystack and how good projects are put to rest and great ones given that all-important green light.
