The guys at Flashbang Studios are a smart and hard working crew that continues to churn out lots of cool ideas and content. For those that missed it they recently went live with their own Unity-centric game portal website, blurst.com:

So far they went live with a soft-launch as the site isn’t completely filled out just yet, there will be community features and hopefully lots of cool games. Give it a look and stay tuned future updates from Flashbang. Keep it up guys!

Belated Austin Wrap-Up

So I’m finally back to do a little wrap-up on our Austin GDC effort, now that I’m finally caught up on everything else. In short, the conference was fantastic, unbelievable, a total success, <insert many other superlatives here>! The conference itself covered three days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), but the expo floor was only open the second two days (Tuesday and Wednesday), and both days saw our booth jam packed with folks stopping by to learn more about Unity.

Unity office in Austin?

Spotted today in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Austin was a pack of four wild Unity Technologies employees working the day away:

From left to right you’ll spot me, Amir, David and Sam, we’re all here for the Austin GDC conference and so far each time we’ve made our way outside we’ve run into folks that recognize us or that want to ask questions about Unity. That includes last night, while standing along a bridge in the dark to watch bats fly about below us, David managed to get roped in by someone asking questions about Unity! Today has been no different, we had folks chat us up while registering, while walking around and even during breakfast!

The conference calendar has today as a sessions-only day and exhibitors don’t get to attend those, bummer! But tomorrow the expo floor opens up and we once again expect to have a super busy booth and thus the extra muscle (last year we only had Sam and I here). Anyone that’s in town for the conference should come by and say hello (booth 130), everyone else should stay tuned for updates as I hope to post more photos and let everyone know just how well it goes.
