GDC 2012 March 5th - 9th

[N0ught]

Well it looks like my game design career is taking an amazing turn.

Some of you may know about the Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco on the 5th - 9th of March. Thanks to the wonderful people at Taleworlds, I will be attending. I look forward greatly to meeting the representatives of the company i have known and loved for so many years. I am hoping this will open doors for me in the gaming industry, so I might one day work in this amazing field.

So hey, if any of you wind up there we might just bump into each other. Look for the man in black!

would you happen to be a Johnny Cash impersonator?

 

[N0ught]

No... and hey - I just noticed EUO listed in your sig. My character on there is Vampire. Small world.

 

[HunterAlpha1]

yeah, you're actually the one who introduced me to the game, a long time ago.  haven't played lately though.

 

[N0ught]

Interesting how I forgot that. Too much of my memory devoted to game code I guess.

 

[N0ught]

Alright well I may be a day late, but I am still going to make it.

GDC2012 was a blast! Meeting Cem and Ali of Taleworlds was awesome, they're great guys, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them in the future!

I attended the following conferences:

SO many new experiences - first time flying, first time in San Francisco, first time on a monorail, first time in
a nightclub (Minecraft Industry Party), first time eating at an expensive restaurant (The Cheesecake Factory), first time at a game convention... I cannot begin to describe how wonderful this trip was for me, or how grateful I am that Armagan made this happen. Thank you sir. Thank you very much for this life-changing opportunity.

Sincerely,

Jesse
