EDIT: and the list grows as my memory does lol
Well lots of things to update on, so just a breif recap now :) No pictures yet, but some are to come...
IGC 2005
IGC was great! That is even an understatement, awesome things going on with GG and Indies. You've all probably heard by now about Greg Canessa from Microsoft speaking there. Was a great run down of Xbox 360 and Indie opportunities with Xbox Live Arcade. Got to play the Xbox 360! Was a blast... I absolutely love Marble Blast Ultra in Multiplayer, way too addicting. Met a lot of the people I've been wanting to meet for a while, put a lot of faces to the forum names, I know I'm going to forget a lot of people but definately some fun people I ran into at IGC... of course some I managed to not meet that I wanted to also.
Disclaimer: I apologize if I didn't mention you, I'm typing this during the lat 10-15 min of my work day so I'll probably remember more later lol
All the GG guys of course (Josh Williams again, always fun to talk to him, Tim Aste, etc), some of them I've met breifly at GDC, Stephen Zepp was definately someone I've been looking forward to meeting and didn't get a chance to at GDC (if he was there). A couple of the GG guys that I managed to not meet at GDC including Ben Garney, Matt Fairfax, Benjamin Bradley, Justin DuJardin, Joe Maruschak (excuse my spelling on anyones names lol) lots of others too, I tried to shake as many GG hands as I could, though didn't get a chance to talk with most of them (obviously they were very busy lol).
Tom Bampton Been chatting a lot with this crazy man on IRC, was great to meet with him, didn't get a chance to talk too long though... though plenty of time to do that in IRC!
Ian (IRC: Omroth) Was in the room next door to mine at the Best Value Inn... met up with him and a few others the first night, was good talking with him and seeing Determinance, really a very innovative idea and look forward to seeing how it turns out!
Joshua Dallman Was great to finally meet him... I really look forward to seeing his future games... as well as our future collaboration :)
Tom Spilman The Torsion guy! Was a blast talking with him, really look forward to Torsion and future versions... some very impressive things hes working on, definately a must watch on all Torquer's lists.
Andy Schatz Really great guy, very humble and kind, has a lot of experience and great things to talk about, really look forward to seeing how his amazing game goes!
Matt Summers The exporter guy, gave my companions and me a run down of the new exporters... Freakin' Awesome Is all I have to say :)
Harold "Labrat" Was a blast talking with the "Labrat." Been wanting to talk with him in person for a while... have some pics to upload later.
Jeff Gran Loved the animation job on the Soldier pack and been wanting to talk with him, so was great to meet him in person. Really am looking forward to his language teaching game in Torque!
"Garp" from PSP Updates was a blast to talk to.
Karthic A very quiet person on the boards though was a great aquaintance. Caught him on the flight back in fact so had some decent time to just sit and talk. I look forward to seeing what he has to say when he feels comfortable saying it :)
Philip Ludington Definately a very motivated guy, look forward to seeing what he does in T2D or TGE... was the first T2Der I ran into! Btw thanks for all the plans about IGC Philip!
Bob Been talking to him a long time, looks like hes going to dig into both T2D and TGE, was great meeting him.
Jesse Hall Said a quick hello, another T2Der I ran into.
Linhart Caught him on the first night via the boards, was fun haning out and talking the first night.
Randel Reiss A quick meeting but very cool to meet, possible future endeavors to write future plans about! lol :)
The list goes on lol... I'll not bore you with my encounters at IGC anymore though there were plenty more of notable people I ran into :) IGC was a blast, ran into some great people and I'll probably update this list as my mind wakes up...
The sessions were great too, I highly suggest downloading some of the videos people are so graciously posting :)
Well when I got back from IGC I had 2 days until a Final for my college classes with my Team in front of local Industry Game Developers... but another plan to recap on that one :)
