Glad to say there are a lot of good things going on. Our HDI games continue to sell well on GOG. We are working on bringing Emperor of the Fading Suns to Steam, and while our old code does not care for Steam’s modern API’s, our efforts to crowbar them in are paying off. You can wishlist the game on Steam right now, as well as get the demo, and the full version will be up there next year.
Our old Warhammer Epic 40K: Final Liberation game is seeing a bit of a resurgence, perhaps as a result of fun recent streams. Check out this interview with Filmdeg Miniatures to enjoy gameplay and a fun converation.
The Georgia Game Developers Association had a very active year, including a month of SIEGE activities. We started with a really fun indie game festival in Doraville, followed up with our panels and Indie Playground at DreamHack, and wrapped up with a really successful college fair at ShaoCon. Working with our partners allowed us to support their worthwhile efforts while ensuring our attendees got access to even more activities.
The DeKalb Entertainment Commission continues to bring a lot of productions to the county. While production in Georgia has fallen to *only* $2.6 billion (who ever thought Georgia would be complaining about $2.6 billion worth of film production?), DeKalb residents are continuing to make millions renting out their properties and businesses to production companies.
Conventions and other events continue to grow here. If you are at Conjuration this weekend, please say hi. Other upcoming events include:
The GGDA Holiday Party Dec. 10 at Underground Atlanta
Conpossible Feb. 7-9 at the same hotel as Conjuration
The Atlanta Science Fiction and Fantasy Expo March 15-16 at Northlake Mall
Our next SIEGE Indie Game Festival April 17 in Doraville
Hope to see you soon!
