Plan for Brian Wells

Had a great time at IGC. I got to see some cool games, ate some great food (the caterers kicked ass!) and lets not forget the XBOX360 stuff! I think overall the best part was meeting all the folks from the GG community finally. Now, it could have been the beer, but I think I met some interesting folks! Overall networking with other GG community members was the best part of IGC. You get to know some of the guys personally and it helps you realize who you will be able to work well with.
We also got great feedback on the projects we were all working on, and what we need to do to make them better, and most importantly viable commercial products. No one wants to "sell out" by not making the perfect game they would want to play, but we learned something very important: if you don't sell some games, you can't make games for a living. What matters most is if you make a product that others would want to play/buy.
Oh, and there was beer! This is also the first time I have been to a place with alcohol and a microphone where I wasn't the first one to get up in front of everyone and make an ass out of myself. Thanks Justin!
I hope everyone made it home from Eugene safe. I brought back a cold with me, but other than that I am better off than before IGC :)
