In my personal life, summer means a lot of things: flying kites on the beach, backyard BBQs, and day hiking trips to exotic locales. (Note pics above. Those were all taken within the last two weeks. I take summer very seriously.) But in my professional life, summer means a string of summer conferences. I've been doing a lot of planning for various events this summer and wanted to give everyone a heads up on where you can catch GarageGames this season, if you're interested in talking shop with us.
Casual Connect
When: July 21 - 23
Where: Seattle, WA
Casual Connect is one of my favorite conferences to meet a bunch of developers from all walks of industry. We'll have a booth set up on the second floor and will show our first alpha demos of Torque 2D, a game engine for making 2D games.
SIGGRAPH
When: August 3 - 7
Where: New Orleans, LA
SIGGRAPH is the premier graphics conference in the country. The latest research in all rendering tech (not just games) will be there, and so will we. Our reps there aren't manning a booth, but if you catch them, they can answer any questions you have about Torque 3D, our brand new 3D game engine.
PAX
When: September 4 - 6
Where: Seattle, WA
If you've never been to PAX, you're missing out on a good time. With more nerds than you can handle, you will find someone who also remembers your favorite old skool game. Stop by our booth to see the latest changes to InstantAction or talk some tech with the Torque reps.
Austin Game Developers Conference
When: September 15 - 18
Where: Austin, TX
Although this conference is a long ways off into the "Autumn" category, it is one of our favorite events of the year. We'll show off our latest R&D at the conference, as well as feature some up and coming game developers.
Hope to see you soon at a conference near you! If you have questions about any of these events, fire away in the comments below.
