GDC 2009 San Francisco, CA

March 30,2009 2:27 pm

What a conference.  The weather was beautiful, the conference was outstanding and the people we met were great!  There are so many things happening in the industry that are helping us out in many ways, with sony dropping their dev kits and creating the Pub Fund.  Nintendo offering DSiWare and increasing their Wii console’s ability to use memory cards more efficiently.  Things are looking great for 2009.  The industry is at an all time high…even though the economy is quite hard.  We’ve had to be creative in how we do things, so as to finish on time and on budget (we’ll have more news on that soon.)

The iPhone version is coming along nicely and it’s pretty fun to play.  During the conference, I met many people and almost everyone over 30 has heard of Archon.  I even had one guy come up to me (I was wearing my official Archon t-shirt) and thank me for redoing this game.  ”It is a long time coming.” he mentioned as we parted ways.

Keep us bookmarked and come back often, as we will be updating several times a week, if not daily…and holding raffles and giveaways.  You can get free Archon SWAG (t-shirts, posters, cards…even an iPod.)  So keep in touch and we’ll see you around the site.

 

Well, I’m over 30, have definitely heard of it. I’ve been following this site for a few months now. I must say however, that after years of playing the game when I was a teenager I did get rather bored with it, and even now, I wonder if I’d last a week before losing all interest. Archon 2 I did not get tired of. Am I the only one who really misses archon 2, or is that one we may some day see come back as an iphone game?
