Got back from Singapore Monday afternoon.

Haven't processed my thoughts into a blog post, but you'll see the pictures on the right hand side of this blog.

The event was a blast. Looks like Danien's retiring from AGDS though. Does that mean we won't be seeing any more Obsidian / ex-Black Isle guys on the speaker list? I definitely hope not.

Cheers to the AGDS organizers for staging another successful event. Let's make it even better again next year

The second AGDS is almost upon us, and I'm leaving for Singapore on Thursday. It's really exciting because the inaugural one last year in Malaysia was a big success, and this one promises to be bigger and better thanks to organizers Allan, Terence and Danien.

There will be a major Filipino contingent to the AGDS, with an estimated 30+ Pinoy game developers attending. And with a really good lineup of talks and their respective speakers, it's really worth the cost of going down to Singapore. For those that don't have the means to attend the GDC in the US, it's heaven-sent :)

Of course, we still dream of moving around the AGDS and having the Philippines host it (SEA Games style!), but it looks like Allan has promised the conference sponsors to stick around in SG for the next few years. We'll talk about this further when we get there.

Since I'll be covering the AGDS for IGDA Manila, I'll have my camera and will actually be using it this time around. You'll see the pics here after the event :)
