Lady got sick after boarding the flight on JFK which resulted in a 2h delay in iceland (wtf..)
So missed the layover to the Netherlands and with it the closing event of Dutch Game Garden as I've got to fly through Finland now.
I'm so pissed I'm going to miss this.

We gamedevs all have dozens of game projects shelved.

That's hard to say no to.

Playing Spiderman 2, i remembered I really really really resent sneak missions.
I'm curious who this caters to as I believe it disrupts the general immersion of pretty much any game (if it's not part of its original correct core like metal gear).

My first Big Brotaru and it's a fun setup. Devs take the stage for 5 minutes to play and talk about their game. Not so much pitching, just sharing.
Vibe is very cozy. Some technical hiccups but nothing the crowd can't laugh about.
