MMOHut GDC Online 2012 Recap

slide 52

Last week I was in the area, so I head over to GDC Online 2012 aka GDC Austin. For those of you who have been to game conferences before know that GDC is far different than PAX or E3. GDC focuses on networking the people who work in the gaming industry. With that I met up with some developers on various titles to talk about their games but mainly met up with people I could network with to grant us access to new information about upcoming games and to make a connection to get you guys some beta keys and other giveaways.

While I was there I met up with Gamigo CMO to talk about Grimlands and Otherland, then I met with Alexa Mann with Innogames and Kartuga, After that I met with Fernando Blanco with Spacetime Studios to take a look at Arcane Legends, then finished up discussing Mechwarrior online with the President of Piranha Games.
