Post SoPCON Thoughts | |

Since SoPCON 1 I've been really busy with vacation (also know as try to paint your house) and some small side projects. Things are soon back to normal though as I'm headed back to the university next week. SoPCON 1 came and went all to fast. It was really awesome to meet both new and old friends and I'm still super inspired by all the great feedback on hUb, our approach to development and the games. Amazing when you think about it that people actually come to spent their precious free weekend time to be creative and develop stuff. Kudos to you guys! There will definitely be a next time in some form or another! While the first SoPCON was much a test, a free range of exploring, socializing and being creative. Possibly the next one will be somewhat more organized possibly with some workshops, compos or something to steer the event a bit more. I personally did two bad things, first I did not make a game release. This bummed me out for a bit but since I'm really inspired now I've worked some on it and hope to make a release next week. Also my brain was quite fried Sunday afternoon so in retrospect it was not that strange that the coding did not come together as I wanted it to. The second bad decision I did was to drive home right after SoPCON, it's a 400 km drive and considering my lack of focus and being really mentally tired I'm happy that all went well. Next time I'm definitely taking a good nights sleep before thinking about driving. Anyway, I've got tons of inspiration, feedback and I'm itching to get a new game out there so less of the blogging and more of the coding! |
