[casual_games] GDC Amsterdam

[Michael Tretyakov]

    Hi all,
 
    Yes, I attended Casuality Kiev in November. It was a great event too,
but it has some differences from Casuality Amsterdam.
    The most participants are Russian or speak Russian fluent. And it is
help to exchange experience between developers very much.
    On the other hand, all major players of casual game market were here:
Real Arcade, Oberon Media, Big Fish Games, Reflexive, PlayFirst, and so on.
So, all developers from East Europe had a chance to meet with them, show
their games, and make deals.
    Also there was section about local casual games markets in East Europe:
Russian, Polish, etc.
 
    It was more then 300 attendees in Casuality Kiev. Many of them can't
afford to visit Casuality Conference in Amsterdam and Seattle, and in Kiev
they learnt a lot about casual games and how to make successful games.
    
    Best,
    Michael

Just curious - did you attend Casuality Kiev?  If so, how did you find it
relative to Casuality Amsterdam?

 

Thanks,

    Hi there!

 

    I totally agree with Miguel. I was in Casuality Europe Conference this
year and it was amazing time for me. I contacted with a lot of portals and
publishers, showed them our Rainbow Web game, and signed several contracts.

 

    I live in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, in the center of Siberia and the trip in
Amsterdam was expensive for me, but it was worth every penny. And I
definitely will be here in next year.

 

    So, if you want to be successful in casual game market, you must visit
Casuality Conferences.

        Sincerely,
        Michael Tretyakov

If you are a developer in Europe and you're trying to establish contact with
the major players, this event is pretty much a must.

Probably the most productive time casual game developers can spend to
network with portals, publishers, tech companies and fellow developers.
