Christian Game Developers Conference Sets Initial Dates

The organizers of the Christian Game Developers Conference (CGDC) have announced the 2005 dates for the conference, to be held in Portland, Oregon from July 28th to 30th, 2005. Following last year's two-day conference, this year's CGDC will also use Thursday the 28th for workshops and tutorials, according to a note on the conference's official website. An official speaker list for the 2005 CGDC has not yet been announced, but the conference site also refers to "exciting speakers from Apple, Keystone Interactive, AMD, Digital Praise, and EMI." Elsewhere on the CGDC site, a call for job applications reveals that Australian game developer Microforte (Citizen Zero) is planning a previously unannounced new Christian game franchise for the PC/Xbox and PlayStation 2, a game which would likely be one of the first Christian-specific console titles, and is looking for 'Christian game designers' to work on the title in Sydney, Australia.
