GDC 2010 is going on, and I haven’t prepared any time to check out the goodies.
Oh, and this year I have a pretty good reason why I’m not attending. My project release date is any day now.

I'm Juuso. I bake games. Indie style.
I started coding games when I was a small kid with access to Commodore 64.
I started this blog in the end of 2005, the same time when I started my own game dev studio (where I work part night time). Since launch, this blog has seen over one million visits from people all over the world. More about me can be found here

I’m at GDC and it rocks. BFG will make their money back if I only implement 5% of the ideas that I’ve generated whilst here. Also it’s great for networking of course.
High hopes for next year for Pathogen Studios!
Saw the Indie awards, was cool. Also met an Indie who won A CAR in an Intel competition, plus they put him on the top floor in a really nice hotel (same one I was in but halfway down).
My excuse was that my wife was expecting. If I would have went, I would have missed my son’s birth by 1 day! No regrets :) Now the question is, will I be ok missing Birthdays in the future?
@shadhex: nah, now you’ll take your kid with you! (Congraz btw!)
@Jake: so, how many ideas you got? ;)
But Jusso, GDC specifically prohibits children from attending, so that wouldn’t work. (For 18 years anyway) =(
