Water Cooler Games - Casuality Europe Conference + Powerful Robot new game

Casuality Europe Conference + Powerful Robot new game
October 26, 2005 - by Gonzalo Frasca

Well, finally a European casual games conference. It will be held in Amsterdam, on February 8th and 9th. I am tempted to stop by even though I have been burned on previous casual game meetings (cult followers waiting for the Messiah: the next Bejewled that would led the mythical 45+ year old woman into a constant climax and will make developers rich in 2 weeks). But I still have hope. The casual games market is what fuels most small to medium-sized game development studios and this applies to my very own Powerful Robot Games. By the way, did I mention that we just completed a new game for Cartoon Network called Fight to the Finish? It is based on a new TV show created by Cartoon Network and Production I.G. (the Japanese animation studio behind Ghost in the Shell and the Kill Bill animation sequence). The team had a lot of fun working on this project and I am sure that you will enjoy the old-school fighting levels. Shockwave may have its problems as a platform but it still can deliver pretty good gaming experiences (of course, that in my humble, biased opinion. Go ahead and judge it for yourself :)

Hi Everyone -- This is Jessica, I'm spearheading Casuality Europe. We are so excited to come over to Europe and create a relevant and fun event for those that aren't able to come to our state-side events.

I promise we aren't too crazy, just professional developers all with full time jobs looking for a conference focused on making fun games for everyone ;)

As for the content, we have a bunch of real industry folks from the PC, Console and Wireless space planning all the sessions with great speakers that we as industry professionals have hand selected.

Feel free to email us if you have any questions. I have started to put answers to emails we recieve in the "discussion" section of the website.

I hope to see you at the conference !!!

- Jessica
