I'm going to the Ind. Game Dev conference thread

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

Yes, it's on in late May at Melbourne (only two months away!) and I want to know if you are going! So, hands up, who's planning on going? How are you getting there? How many people are coming with you? Where are you planning to stay?

Someone mentioned somewhere about a Sumea dinner thing happening, which should be cool if it's organised! Would you go?

Yes I'm going, public transport as usual. I'll likely be by myself so I think a dinner before hand would be great.

Not going at all, it's during a Uni week, and I can't afford to miss Uni this semester.

Submitted by Kane on Tue, 30/03/04 - 9:42 PMPermalink

Sad news for Sumea...

I have decided to no longer attend the Indie. Game Developers Conference this year, partly because I have no-one to go with, and partly because I'm buying me a new guitar!

I still want a shirt though, and will definately go next year...
