Vanguard: SGO's Visit to GDC

BTW, we're back!

GDC went VERY well.

I want to say thanks both to the Vanguard team -- wow, it's not hard to demo when you've got a product you not only really believe in, but is a pleasure to show off... and also thanks big time to the community -- all of you -- because, as I've said before, in many ways your excitement and faith in us is the fuel that keeps the team going... pouring their hearts and souls into making a great game.

And thanks too to Microsoft for all the support and help, from the XNA announcement (components of which are already helping us), to helping us demo, for spreading the word, and for all of the support. You guys really 'get it'. It was a great 'conclusion' to the long milestone we just completed.

Here's to the future!

Welcome back! I'm extremely happy to hear that GDC went well. Some good awards handed out this year, did you all stick around for those?

Spent almost the entire time in our hotel suite showing the game to the press and various Microsoft VIPs. I didn't make it to the floor/expo at all, though I think Dave & Keith might have briefly.

I can only hope these VIP's play games too.

The vast majority did indeed.

And how was the reaction from those that had the pleasure of seeing the game?
I had to ask :-)

Very positive, especially from the MSFT folk.
The magazine editors are harder to read... we'll have to wait until the previews hit and see what they have to say

I'll keep this up to date as he spills more of his travels, so don't forget to check back.
