Hi guys,
Busy month of August, let me tell you that much.
In early August I went to Casual Connect, a sort of minE3 for Casual Gaming which brings together some of the players in the industry for demos, conferences, and development conversations. It's really more work and less play, but it was definitely interesting to see how gaming has impacted all these new markets. I wouldn't have ever guessed there was a market in 65+ gamers! Also, it was really awesome just to explore Seattle with Dan and enjoy the nice Summer weather up there.
The week following The-EXP + Fiancee and Ido (Flash: Portal Version) came to visit the Armor Games Office and it was a blast! We did all the really, really important Southern California things such as going to Medieval Times and Disneyland. It was a lot of fun. Yeah we're total dorks.
Just a week and a half later and it's off to PAX! I finally got to meet Tom for the first time which was neat... you feel like you know someone so well already from all the updates they provide on their site that it leaves that awkward "man, I know so much about him but how much does he know about me?" feeling. But I was quite flattered that he knew about the RPG I was working on (still working on for that matter) so I was pretty happy. Also met the great team behind Transmigration and Marvin Spectrum, two games I find very, very attractive. Also met PixelJam's team, who are also sporting chaps.
And this week... well I guess it's September now. Got a new Atari-style / western-flared / keepy-uppy / puzzle-based shooting game coming up. It's done, I just need to sit on it for a few more hours to assure myself that it's up to snuff.
Friday I take off for a Florida vacation with my girlfriend. We're celebrating our five year anniversary on that trip so it'll be a blast :).
See you soon Newgrounds!
