On July 4 we participated in the game development conference in Odessa, Ukraine. Despite the difficult situation with the pandemics, the organizers managed to hold a relatively small event taking all possible precautions.
Strani Games CEO and founder Ihor Tymoshenko, who also happens to be our lead programmer, is getting ready to travel to Odessa:
At the conference, there were two main activities that we took part in: the game presentation and the lecture for the attendees.
First, we presented our game to everyone interested:
Just before the event, we were approached by another company, proposing to join forces and present our games on their 150 cm wide diagonal touch screens:
The Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg looked awesome on a huge touch screen. You could literally feel yourself an army commander moving tokens symbolizing his troops across the headquarters table.
Secondly, we taught a lecture about the details of our recent controversy in Russia:
The audience was curious to know all the details of our controversial release and asked numerous questions:
After the lecture we went to the afterparty to talk to our colleagues in a more unofficial manner and forge new relations and contacts.
Overall, despite the event being small (due to obvious reasons), we had a lot of productive and insightful discussions and hope that it will help us with both our projects and the overall company development.
We will post some “secret” photos from the afterparty in future news updates, so stay tuned.
With best regards
Strani Games development team
