We had our official launch on Wednesday the 28th of October as a pre-event to the conference, Konsoll in Bergen, Norway – where we first started talking about establishing this fine publisher! We had our event at the newly opened bar at The Bergen Public Library. Yes …. the library in Bergen has it’s own bar – and a fine one at that!
We wanted the launch to be informal but celebratory and we realized that one of our greatest strengths is the discussions that we have together. I, personally, have learned so much from the team members already, and my favorite meetings are when James, Geoffrey and Demetri disagree on something. I lean back and just suck as much I can of their experience and opinions in. They have much knowledge about games! Therefore we decided that the format would be more a discussion than an announcement. We wanted to introduce our individual personalities and strengths and a panel discussion seemed like the best way to do this. I think it turned out exactly like I hoped it would!
(oh … and Demetri’s comments about breaking out in hip hop at the beginning were totally planned too – but we have yet to see him do this)
We estimate that about 100 people showed up for the actual event which was a real thrill! The energy in the room was very exciting! So thank you so much to all who showed up!
Thank you also to Jory Prum who put his Audio Superman Cape on and flew in to help us through some sound difficulties!
Thank you also to the library for hosting us! You guys are amazing!
