Live Blog: Game Developers Conference, Austin

I am live-blogging today from the Game Developers Conference in Austin, Texas. Wake County Economic Development is here to keep Raleigh and Wake County plugged into a dynamic gaming industry.

Despite the show being smaller than last year, the traffic flow at the event has been pretty good and I have been busy connecting with some folks who are bright stars in gaming. The Motus Digital team out of Dallas is pretty excited about the upcoming Triangle Game Conference. And Paladin Consulting is keen on serious games groups in the Triangle. They are looking to cultivate a cognitive or exercise game for seniors to exercise their brains in order to stave off dementia. What a great cause. There are a lot of educational institutes and programs with good niches within the interactive software field present, as well.

Game Developer Magazine spoke with me earlier today. There is a buzz building about gaming in the Triangle, especially the Triangle Game Conference!

The show runs until 3 p.m. tomorrow, then I fly back to RDU.
