I went to the gym this tueday after a three weeks break , pushed myself hard cause I felt I had been lazy and now my back hurts like hell - oh the irony.

Are they officially an evil super corp now?

Had such a blast! Hope we meet again!

And boy am I tired now, I've been game jamming the whole weekend too!

"I think it's kind of public knowledge that people know that it is being worked on, and so if I say 'yeah, I've seen some images, like some concept art of it,' you know, that wouldn't be big news. I guess I could say that I did see something that looked like kind of in the Half-Life universe. It wouldn't surprise anyone if I said 'yeah, they're working on it,' so I guess to go on a limb, I would say yeah, I did see some concept art for Half-Life 3.

The one thing I am really excited about is Left 4 Dead, the new Left 4 Dead... It wouldn't be any news if I said I saw it and it looks great. So, I was really excited when I saw that, I was like 'wow, this looks great'. Because I really loved Left 4 Dead, it's just one of those games that changed the industry." - Minh "Gooseman" Le

From that twitch interview!

Yesterday I had some hand-on experience of how little I actually know about business, had a good time though!

Also I met your collegue Skjalg, Joergen! Really nice guy!

Edit: I don't really do writing much but I will try to make a compendium of the things I learned and post it here.

Thanks a lot for taking time and replying, this is gold to me!

Can I expect the investors to just throw a quadrillion of questions at me or do they expect me to just give them an awesome presentation with all the right points? Or does that differ between each meeting?

I guess I'll have to see tomorrows experience as a learning one and see where it takes me.

All that makes sense, thanks a lot!

Are you pitching?

It hasn't been announced what the Investing Games Summit will be about. All I know right now is that there will be a lecture in "Investing In Games" and an hour of mingling with investors. Therefore, I'm guessing it is very likely that I will pitch the game me and my team is working on.

Yesterday night I got to know I'm going to see some investors tomorrow on something called Investing Games Summit, anyone got Dos and Don'ts?

Yeah I know all of those games and how much they look like eachother yet there are some differences, such as temporality fielded objects (that does not move through time). I know it is not all that original and I was only there the last couple of months wrapping up the game, it's been in the making for four years and should have been released a lot sooner.

And no Angelmapper was not a part of the production.

Hello guys!

I just wanted to make a final push for our game as it is releasing in two days on Steam (20th of May)!

Now we can just hold our thumbs and hope people will like it.

A real shame. I hope he's at peace now, though. He always looked like a tortured soul, albeit it an inspirationally brilliant one.

I'll treasure this picture that I have on my wall even more now.

Well, living a life with night terrors since child age could not have been an easy thing. So I guess you're right about that.

I am there, if anyone wants to meet...

Also I am working with Epic to organise an Unreal meet and greet during Nordic Games. If anyone is interested feel free to join!

https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php…et-up-on-May-22

Epic Games will host a casual get together on May 22nd at the Green Lion, Malmö, Sweden (close to the central station, and the Nordic Game conference venue) from 4.00 PM CET - 7.00 PM CET.

We are inviting any interested developers to hang out with us and our Scandinavian friends, enjoy some food and drink, and check out Unreal Engine 4.

Attending from Epic will be Mark Rein, vice president; Mike Gamble, European territory manager; Andy Hess, Evangelist; Alan Willard, senior technical artist; and Alan Noon, developer relations technical artist.

In addition, the evening has been organized by our good friend and Unreal Engine guru Sjoerd De Jong, so there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss your projects and challenges with the team.

Thinking about joining us? Let us know below. We hope to see you there!

Just to let you know Sjoerd, you better book some tables there because Green Lion in becomes packed quickly, I know that place.

Holy shit it actually seems like you could play it at some point in some way!

Just look here!

Don't think I am going to Nordic Game, but since I live just across the bridge I might stop by just for this. Anyone else coming?

I'm going there,undoubtedly!

Quote from PogoP

Very sad to hear this. I don't think it's a hoax, Sjonsson. What makes you think that?

A friend of mine said something about a german website claiming it a hoax, but that does happen when a famous person dies. I'm just hoping he'd be alive, love his work. Was trying to get a link from him but he couldn't fint it anymore, so it's probably nothing.

Though I'm not saying he would "fake his death" or something, just that maybe some website might have started it, would be a complete ass-move.

This website is amazing!

I just find all of this hilarious and the fact that there are people who do this research is even better!

Never was I so scared for an alien, RIP

Edit: it may be a silly question, but are you 100% this is not a hoax? Cause I sure hope it is..

Necrostorm, The Curious Game That Might Not Exist

Awwwh! I was hoping I could play this monstrosity some day!

"The customer told me that he was blocked from the company's forums after pointing out many issues he had with the game's beta way back in 2012. His experience matches that of other customers who posted similar messages on SRK and TYM."

Customer Service 101!

I wasn't able to finish my map to this deadline due to a lot of work samples and portfolio making. Hopefully I can make it to the next one!
