Nordic Game - Day two (pt4)
After parties, seminars and hundreds of people tried our game, it’s all over. We got new friends, new knowledge and tons of feedback, so were getting back ready to take all feedback and implement new things.
I was at four different seminars today:
Alex Evans from Media Molecule (Little Big Planet)
Really great seminar and he had a new way to do a presentation.
Financial Panel with Fred Hansson, Siggi Keogle (Attraction), Nick Parker (Parker Consulting Ldt), Valerie Bourgoin (CNC)
Good seminar, where different people gave different advice how to finance a game project.
Suda 51, Grasshopper (No More Heroes)
I had really big exportations for this one (since I really enjoyed NMH), but I think that it was one of least interesting seminars that I went to.
Ian Bowden, Rockstar Leeds (GTA Chinatown wars, GTA Liberty City Stories)
Great seminar, seams to be a really nice guy. Though he talked more about ESC (Eurovidion song contest) then other stuff :p (he thought Turkey had the best song this year)
Nordic Game - Here we come!
Be prepared Sweden, Malmoe and all you game developers because Databox Games is going to Nordic Games this weekend. We’ll be showing Exhaust and maybe also a little “Penalty of Heroes”, but we’ll probably only be showing that for selected people or if someone asks for it : )
At this years event there will be a lot of great speakers at the event so I hope I can catch some of them. One of the bad things is that some of the speakers have their seminars at the same time, so you can only catch on of them. But as we’re four people we might go to different seminars : )
On my “want to see” list is:
Keijl Inafune (Capcom) - “The Capcom Philosophy”
Ian Bowden (Rockstar Leeds) - “It’s a small Word”
Calle Lejdfors (IO Interactive) - “Designing a flexible content pipeline”
Ilari Kulittinen (Housemarque) - “PSN rock crushing & casual golfing on XBLA”
Ryan Schneider (Insomniac Games) - “Does community even matter?”
Lars Gustavsson (DICE) - “Innovation - Making a leap of faith”
Suda 51 (Grasshopper) - “The birth of No More Heroes”
Jussi Laakkonen (Everyplay) - “How to start your own game company”
Harald Rieger (Sproing) - “Managing multiple development teams”
We will be posting updates about Nordic Games every day, so check out our blog this week for the latest!
