NY Games Conference

The full operations team was present at the NY Games Conference on Wed - Melissa "FrizzleFry" Astle, Richard "Superpig" Fine, (pictured, right) and myself. We rarely get combined face time so we took full advantage of it by knocking heads together to continue to spec out V5 of the website, which is about to enter its final design phase. W00t!

But enough of that teasing. I promised I would be good. Click on the image to see the full gallery of shots from the conference on our Facebook page, and you can check our twitter page for tweets from the event. You can also look up the #nygames hash for other tweets as well.

Twitter feedback needed!!!

@evolutionalgd and @AiGameDev have already expressed concerns about the conference tweeting - what's your take? I want to know! We've been adding followers pretty steadily since Austin GDC, over 100 new followers have flocked to us in the past two weeks alone, which is a huge increase. So you could infer that the conference tweeting has made us popular - I haven't heard any other complaints but if there are concerns, get them out in the open so we can deal with them before they become a problem!

GameX Contest - tons of cool prizes!

GameX Industry Summit threw together a pretty decent set of prizes for our GameX contest, and we sweetened the deal thanks to our buddies from GarageGames throwing in a Torque3D license (mega!!) and Cengage donating some books and a full GDNet Collection library. This is no joke - the grand prize package is valued at $1,400!

The full contest details can be found here. It's exactly like the LevelUp contest we ran a few months back, so spread the word and let me know!
