The road to the awards
19.3.2010 By Simon

Hello again everyone. It's been a few days since GDC ended, and I'm sure you've already got plenty of coverage from other sources, we've been scrambling to piece together all the bits and pieces we've come across during this year's conference. It's been an incredible journey, and now that we're finally back to our safe lodgings, we can put together a little show and tell of what happened. Sorting through all these pictures is a monumental task in it's own, so this is going to be a two-part update. We'll start off with our own ventures and what happened during the award ceremony, then move on to some thoughts on what was on display on the show floor.

GDC day one
10.3.2010 By Simon

So the first day of GDC is upon us. Blogs everywhere are going spaztic and updating like crazy while people camp out at lectures. Us though, we spent most of the morning preparing for the next couple of days (in fact, the first GDC post took most of the morning). By the time we got to the convention center, we had to fetch our passes. Naturally, there had to be some kind of problem with the registration, so when we finally had that fixed, we decided to explore a bit instead of attending the sessions.
More specifically, I used my grand powers of all-access to get into the expo area during contruction.

Salutations everyone!
It's finally time for that GDC thing again. This time though, the whole team is showing up for the conference and we have a nomination in Visual Exellence to look forward to, so expect a lot of blog updates comming at you. I can't promise that we'll get to do this daily as last year proved to be a pretty big job keeping track of everything, and that was without a booth to keep track of, but you'll definitely get a rundown of our adventures in detail as the week progresses.
For now, here's your usual exploration photos around San Francisco.

Owlboy: IGF finalist
6.1.2010 By Simon


That's right people! Owboy has just been nominated for Exellence in Visual Art!
This caught all of us by complete surprise. When we handed in the demo for evaluation in November, the project had been struggling for a while, so we weren't feeling all that optimistic about our chances. With the number of entries being the highest ever at IGF, it was a serious longshot.
Hearing the news the other day was like lightning from a clear sky. Just being nominated is a gigantic step forward and since it looks like our programmer issues are slowly being resolved, this is turning into an insanely fantastic start to the new year. I'd like to thank everyone that's stuck around with us so far. Hopefully, this will mean great things in the future.
Ladies and Gentlemen. We're going to GDC!
