Craaaap!

One of the two airlines servicing Gotland decided to stop doing so, today. Thank you very much.

Grendel Games‘ founder (and GGC Juror) Jan-Jaap made an astute observation;

“have you considered that maybe GGC is cursed w.r.t. air-travel in some way?”

HA! Let’s review:
2010: volcano eruption. European flights cancelled.
2011: volcano eurupts AGAIN. European flights threatened.
2012: Skyways – one of the two airlines servicing Visby – files for bankruptcy the day before the expected delivery of 26 of our international guests.

What travel-related catastrophy will befall GGC 2013? Let loose your inner Nostradamus in the comments, please. 🙂

Funky fun stuff

Just met with first year team 2o’clock, who showed me a demo version of the input device they’ve created for their arcade game.

WHAT IS THAT THING?!
Fire in the hole!
The game is creatively titled BlockDropper

You can pretend you don’t want to play with this. But we both know you’d be lying. 😀

Register for the Opening Expo Fri 25th, 17:00-19:00 (free of charge!).

Gotland Game Conference, 25-26 May 2012

Gotland Game Conference is all about your potential to make a living doing what you love!

We will be exploring creative business models and learn how to invent new ones. We’ll try to pin down the future of web- & mobile platforms, the experiences they enable and markets they provide. We’ll meet with some of developers experimenting (and thriving!) in these fields.

No matter your goal; education, employment, getting published, or setting up your own thing – we’ve got your back! Check the Schedule for an overview of the conference content.

GGC 2012 – the seventh edition of the conference – will be held on 25-26 May 2012,
in Wisby Strand Congress & Event, Visby, Sweden.
