gewd damn it, another year has passed?



not to admit to being ego driven, but i would prefer to go if i had something to show off (and not having anything to show off, spare time should be spent making something, (cough, as well as wasting time on the web...))



probably not going to go, but will try to get something finished by next year (and say that every year)

Anyone else here go? Care to give some impressions?



Chameleon has some footage of the event and we'll be uploading it up on Sumea hopefully by the end of this weekend.

It was great! I'm glad I went. Really inspirational to see where the games industry's real creative force, the indie developers, are coming from. Jonathan Blow's keynote speech was brilliant, he has some great ideas about how games will be taken to the level of art, and focuses on the "Why" you should make indie games rather than the "How".



Jason Hill has a write up about it on ScreenPlay. But check out the video of it when it goes up too.chameleon2007-08-22 03:11:56
