2008-07-03 -> 06 Brisbane (GenConOz)
From Thursday to Sunday I go to the “Gen Con Oz” Game convention (four day pass 66AUD).
It is focus on table top gaming, role play and Cosplay. Still some video game developers are there.
There are also lots of seminars that I visit
- The Art of Gaming
- Freelancing 101
- How to Get into Games (GDAA)
- Freelance Game Design: The Next Step
- What’s Krome Doing Now?
- What’s Going on in Gaming?
- Building a Game Company 101
On Thursday it is a bit quiet. Mostly kids on school holiday. The few people in the huge convention hall make the place look like empty. There are lots of game traders and Krome showing Star Wars Unleashed and Hellboy. During the convention and at the un-official after party from Yug ( Australian Gamer ) I speak with serval people from:
- Fuzzyeyes Studio
- Halfbrick Studio
- Krome Studios
- Pandemic Studios
- Queensland Games
- THQ Studio Australia
- Valhalla Game Studios
Get lots of good advice for my portfolio the application.
It is interesting to look at all the Cosplay people and to look at all the figures of the different boardgames.
