What a night! 280 came to see the presentation! 280! That’s a new high since I started as a volunteer.
Unfortunately, I can’t say much about the presentation in itself, because I only catch a glimpse of the Q&A session at the end. But I don’t mind since I was helping out the IGDA and still got to network with some really nice people :) Oh and there should be a movie of the presentation posted on the IGDA Montreal website.
