After almost 10 weeks of development we can proudly say that Yo is finally finished. On May 12th we gave our presentation explaining all the details of the game during Spring 2009 DemoDay at USC.

Just a couple of comments, the team is very excited for the presentation, actually we are already working on our talk. We really hope to see as many people there as possible, it will be great to talk about the game with you. Everyone in the industry is welcome. If you need more information just let me know.
Again, if you need more details about Yo, check out the website, there is also a dev blog and more information about the team !
From now on and until April 30th I will finish a couple of games that I have been working on for this last semester. Both will be shown during DemoDay 2009 at USC on May 12th.
The first one it is called YO, and it is a social game for iPhone, I can not tell much about it for obvious reasons but I am sure everybody will enjoy it. The second one is a very special MMO, I hope you can see it soon, it is very exciting !
It is going to be a really nice month, probably full of surprises and work but, as usual, at the end it will be totally worth. Probably, there is going to be a post with videos around May 12th as well, so stay tuned, I can not wait to show what we have been working on.
Today is pretty much the first day after GDC that I have had some time to write on the blog and to organize my GDC stuff.
The year’s GDC has been my first time, after many years dreaming about the possibility to assist and learn from the bests, I have been able to experiment it by myself. It was such a great experience, totally worth. I can not wait for next year’s GDC, I am totally going to get a pass with more conferences.
If there is somebody out there looking for a job or looking for more industry-knowledge, please, don’t think twice, just buy a ticket for GDC 2010.

Finally, I just want to thank everyone I met there to make it so valuable. Thanks.
