Emergent is in Daegu, South Korea this week, conducting training sessions for game developers in this region. Our hosts are the Daegu Digital Industry Promotion Agency, and we appreciate their hospitality.I am posting this "live" from the event, and aside from a couple of hiccups, things are going very well. I gave an incredibly exciting Gamebryo introduction and market trends overview presentation, and now Matt and Val (the geeks - and I mean that in a good way) are going through Gamebryo from a technical perspective. After lunch here, we will do some hands-on training.
Matthew Campbell, one of our Senior Gamebryo Engineers, and Valery Carpentier, our Gamebryo Technical Expert, are guiding the group through the use of Gamebryo. We have two simultaneous interpreters in a booth at the back of the room. It's a highly technical event, and their job is incredibly difficult. I feel for them.
Most of the game development community in Korea is concentrated in Seoul, and we focus a lot of our efforts there in Seoul. Therefore, it's nice to get some exposure down here. We have 26 people in attendance, representing a number of different entities. Only ONE person in attendance has any experience using Gamebryo, so it's nice to be in front of so many pre-customers. Enjoy the photos herein.
The interpreters booth at the back of the room. I did that job in my younger years - it's tough!!!
