Plan for Alex Swanson

by Alex Swanson · 03/10/2003 (3:57 pm) · 0 comments

Well, finally back from GDC. It was a lot of fun - very intense. I'm a bit behind on my classwork, but I'll be done with that by the end of the week, for better or worse. Level building will be the big priority after that -- Marble Blast addicts beware :)

The GarageGames booth was incredibly popular at GDC. We had significantly more traffic than any other booth of our size. People were spilling out into the aisles and our neighbor's booth almost constantly. I think that the amazing affordability of the engine along with all the great games we were showing off really caught people's attention. People were really impressed by the affordability of the engine, especially in comparison to the other engines there - which didn't offer much more in terms of features, but cost a few thousand times more than Torque (literally).

Currently I am doing some video editing for class. Once that is finished I'll be back to designing twisted new levels over at GG.
