First day at GGA
By Jens. Filed in News |
So here’s a sum up of the first day at GGA:
We started at about 6 am, me and Håkan went to Swedish Radio P1 (Swedens national radio channel) and promoted GGA (about 7.45). After that we went to the exhibition area at Wisby Strand Conference Center to build up our “Game Booth”. It took about 3 hours. Then the jury came and played all of the 25-30 games in about 2 hours then the public was let in.
We wasn’t sure how the public was going to react to our game, so at first we put up our game on just one of our 46 inch screens and we showed a trailer of the game on the other screen. But after 30 min we had to stop because there was so many people wanting to play. So we had 8 players constantly hacking and slashing, that was so fucking awesome to see, because we didn’t expect this at all really.
After everyone played we asked what was good and what didn’t work in the game, so we got tons of feedback now so we can make the game better. The first day there was only one person that stoped playing the game without finishing the first level and it took about 10 minutes to finish the first level (I thing about 150-200 people played it the first day).
There were alot of newspapers and TV present during the first day at GGA.
At about 4pm we had a presentation about Penalty of Heroes infront of the jury.
