I'm Robert Donate, this my last year in College. My major in Business,Management & Economics. I have start-up idea for gaming center in manhattan. This would be beneficial for people of all ages. Kids after school have a safe environment to go to for hanging out. A place where young adults can socialize with another. Families can come in, an have fun for low price in the city.

Spread the word. Trying raise money for a game center in nyc. Will hold tournaments and events but need help to start.

relocating to NYC, looking for office space

cleck — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:52:57 -0600

Hey guys,

I'm one of the founders of a company called graFighters that lets you bring your drawings to life and play games with them. We are based in Syracuse, NY and will be moving the team to NYC in June.

Are there any office/coworking/startup spaces that you would recommend? Last summer I worked out of General Assembly which was really cool, but I'm looking for something more permanent. Places which have a gaming focus would be awesome, not sure if any exist though.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Everybody,

I'm Eric Cleckner. I'm a graphic designer and I love makig things by hand. I'm working on a game called graFighters that lets you bring your drawings to life and play with them. It's something that my college roommate and I started a few years ago. I'm from Syracuse, NY but will be moving to NYC this summer. I plan on using this group as a way to connect with designers and developers who want to do contract work or possibly join the graFighters team. I'll also be posting dev versions of the game and inviting you all to provide us with feedback. I'm also excited about having an easy way of keeping up with all of the gaming related things going on in the city.

They're asking for suggestions on local venues, if anyone has any. I had previously mentioned to them to reach out to the NYU Game Center as well.

I agree. What are some things we can do to help get the movie shown here?
