Game Technology Standards Study Group

The Game Technology Standards Study Group held a workshop on February 3, 2009, in Los Angeles, aimed at establishing a roadmap for game engineering technology standards. The meeting, sponsored by SAB and T&C, addressed key issues such as convincing the game tech industry of the necessity for standards and collaborating with other standards committees. It emphasized the importance of online resources and community engagement, with updates provided on policies, procedures, and the creation of the game standards website. This document serves as a comprehensive report on the group's discussions and future plans.
