DemoCampVancouver06: Gaming Edition

DemoCamp is an adhoc conference where anyone can pitch an idea for a presentation. The goal is to pitch your idea or demo and get solid, constructive feedback. DemoCamp attracts a diversity of people and as a result is a great networking event as well as a great place to take in new ideas.

DemoCampVancouver06 is taking place on April 10, 2008. It will take place at Workspace and start at 5:30PM. This time around DemoCamp will be focused on Game Development. Word on the street is that Sun Microsystems will have a presence.

I know what your thinking. What? Sun a gaming company? Sun is currently focusing on Project Darkstar for gaming. Sun Startup Essentials may also be pertinent for some.

I will be presenting on Bleeding Edge iPhone Game Development. I’ll go over the tools and the platform, the types of games that can be made, and if it makes sense for you from a business perspective. I’ll compare and contrast with XBox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, WiiWare, and other platforms.

    The iPhone looks sexy for independants from a tech perspective, but I’d be afraid of Apple’s apparent total lack of a plan for gaming. The mysterious cert process could very easily turn into what it has on XBox Live Arcade… go talk to a publisher if you want to play.
