State Library of Victoria and Dissecta Present
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix - The A.I. Doesn't Cheat!
with Steve Fawkner, Infinite Interactive
Sponsored by Infinite Interactive

Next Week, Tuesday 24th February 2009. A free event from 6:30pm to 8pm. At the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne.

Dissecta is pleased to present Steve Fawkner and key members of the Puzzle Quest: Galactrix team who will discuss the creation of their much-anticipated sequel, with many insights into their creative processes and techniques. They'll even talk about the stuff that went wrong; how they missed deadlines, how multi-platform development caused much angst, and the things they discovered that should never go into a sequel. If time permits, Steve may even explain for the 50th time why the A.I. doesn't cheat!

A SPECIAL NOTE
As most of you will be aware the Founder and Convenor of Dissecta, Tim Richards passed away on the 21st of October 2008. Tim lost his battle with severe pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease shortly after receiving a transplant but not without putting up a strong fight which was true testiment to his character. Tim will be sadly missed by his family, friends and the games industry as a whole.

Tim's vision and dedication to both Dissecta and GameNews.com.au and his belief in the local games industry were unparalled and it will be a massive task to continue this momentum. Our commitment to both Tim and his family is that we will keep going with what Tim has established with the ideals and principals he had set in place.

It is on this note that we ask for your continued support through donations to the Alfred Foundation which can be made during the Dissecta event or through the paypal account we have established on Tim's behalf. We would also like to bring to everyone's attention that this Dissecta event is running during Australian Organ Donation Awareness Week and we will do what is possible to assisting in raising awareness of this very crucial and essential cause.

Victorian Bushfires
Our thoughts are also with the victims of the Victorian Bushfires and in helping the survivors of this terrible disaster. We are sure all of our Dissecta patrons have given generously to the Red Cross bushfire appeal. Please donate if possible as it is all desperately needed.
