It's E3 next week...

A large portion of my spare time this week has been preparing for E3. Not that I'm attending, but my business agent, Laura MacDonald is going to be there, talking with publishers and being enthusiastic on my behalf. So a lot of e-mails have been flying back and forth, along with documents for the game and other little bits and pieces that are going on. We're approaching the whole E3 extravaganza with an air of cautious optimism - we feel good about what we have to show the publishers and are sure that perceptive publishers will feel the same way.

I've also been talking with artists and animators in the hope that they will be able to kick into gear as soon as the project gets the green light. There's always that period at the beginning of any project when you're not sure who's going to work out or who will settle into the style in the best way, but with the right talent and clear communtication there is always a way to move towards the project vision.

It's a shame that I'm unable to go to E3. With no ECTS this year and EGN looking increasingly doubtful it means that London is going to be devoid of a trade show. Now I'm torn between Edinburgh and Leipzig in August. Any thoughts on which would be the better one to attend?
