We're off to see GDC, the Wonderful GDC of San Francisco!

hey all,

I wish I had some uber cool gameplay or demonstration to show everyone, but to be honest, although I have been working on improving that node editor, I have not made significant progress on it. I have written a small Windows Application Form that will construct file folder structure, and generate properly formatted Visual Studio Solution files, which are amazingly dry to read:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2013
VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.40629.0
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1

But that does not make for really gripping story or text. So, here it is: on Saturday I leave for the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, California. I will be attending under the educational pass, so I get access to all the educational and career seminars and workshops. I've ordered a big stack of business cards (that should be arriving later today) to pass out to all and sundry. In other news, I contacted Teacher Gaming months ago, but never heard back, so I assumed I was getting the cold shoulder. But I actually got an email from them the other day, so it is at least possible that I could polish one of my early games and sell it.

In any case, please do not expect any updates for the next week.
