Iain 18th August

Post by IainMcNeil »

<p>We're off to Leipzig tomorrow to present our line up for 2009 to distributors so we're making our last minute preparations. All the sales sheets have been printed up and we're now setting up the Alienware laptop with all the latest code. We've also got the DS with playable code on two titles. We can't bring the PSP with us as the dev kit's not portable enough so we wont be showing any games on that platform.</p>
<p>While the Alienware is technically a laptop, it's so big and heavy it's more like a portable desktop. It also eats so much power that the battery doesn't last long so we need to be plugged in for any demos. One year we saw some guys with an Alienware and on a trolley they had the battery to power it :)</p>
<p>Having said that the Alienware is a powerful beast and does allow us to demo the games nicely. However its over a year old now so even this is starting to show it's age.</p>
<p>We've got meetings booked up all day Wednesday & Thursday and are travelling tomorrow. There were no fligths in to Leipzig so we're having to fly to Berlin and catch the train down. There were no hotels in Leipzig so we're having to stay in the next town and get the shuttle bus in every day. Neither of these are ideal but it just goes to show how big an event this is.</p>
<p>It's really exciting and we can't wait to see what sort of reaction we get at ths show with all our cool new titles & licenses! Anyway I better get on with the packing as there is still a lot to set up and get ready :).</p>
