A different kind of "game demo"
Recently, I have made a small game for the BlackBerry, called : Daughter In The Box. It’s an ancient chinese puzzle.
As many people know this (both developers and gamers), there are 2 versions of each game. A demo, that allows you to evaluate the game up to a certain point, and the full version, which if you decide to purchase, gives you access to all the features and content of the game.
It’s been like these since the first day computer games appeared.
I wanted to innovate and create a slightly different model of distributing commercial games. The scope of the game is to move the pieces of the puzzle, until the biggest piece of puzzle reaches the exit. The “demo” version will allow you to play the game for a maximum of 100 moves.
Here comes the catch. The game can be solved in less than 100 moves, if you are real good, meaning that you get to play the game completely free, if you are real good … as a nice reward for you.
And it was …. the GC Leipzig 2008
All I can say, it’s that is was huge, well organized and a lot of fun. Sliding through the business and visitor areas all day long, was fun
I got to met some nice people, check out some new games and technologies and have a lot of fun.
I even got to see Duke Nukem chilling with some ice-cream. I am still patiently waiting for Duke Nukem Forever to come out since about 10 years ago when I first played Duke Nukem. Enjoy some photos below, and see you all next year.
Games Convention 2008 - Leipzig / Germany
This year I have decided to attend the Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig (Germany). I will be attending as a business visitor this year. I will be in Leipzig 20-23 August. between Hopefully for the next edition, we will have a booth to showcase our company and products. Since I rarely play games (other than those that I make), this will also be a good opportunity to check out some new games, and perhaps buy a good game to play.
If you are in the area, drop me a line using our contact form. I am more then happy to met anyone of you for a cup of coffee. Also, free licenses for Hacker Evolution (or any other product) will be offered to anyone asking.
Also, I will post some photos and coverage from the GC, just in case you are wondering what you are missing.
