Got back from the trip absolutely shattered at 3am today. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the plane hadn’t been delayed and the train was off because of the flooding. the train company put on a bus from Manchester to York, but it took an absolute age to go through a number of towns picking up and dropping off.<\/p>\n
The trip itself was great and Claas (the PR manager from DTP) and I met up with some really friendly people to show them an early version of So Blonde. They were even good enough to laugh at some of my jokes. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Mostly we showed the game to print magazines, but we also met up with two of the guys from the German adventure site, Adventure-Treff<\/a> – Marco and Basti. It was a great evening; thanks for being so friendly, guys. They’ve already posted a piece<\/a> over at the site, which includes a picture of Claas and I enjoying the Bavarian hospitality. The glazed eyes are because I was tired, honest…<\/p>\n The journalists from the print magazines were also very enthusiastic, which was a real pleasure. One of the magazines, Play Vanilla<\/a>, is probably one of the coolest magazines that I’ve seen for a long time, even though I don’t speak German. It’s a gaming magazine that’s aimed at female gamers and has the style of a top women’s lifestyle\/fashion magazine. Whoever had this cool idea should be making the magazine in other languages, too.<\/p>\n Although the trip was pretty short, we managed to fit in a lot of meetings and hopefully did the game a lot of good. I’m hoping to return to Germany in August for the GC in Leipzig. Maybe see you there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Got back from the trip absolutely shattered at 3am today.
