Day three of the San Francisco trip…the Flash Gaming Summit!  It’s finally here!

After rising bright and early the team found their way to the summit where they were welcomed very warmly…even in the keynote address!  They were asked stand as one of the leading game development companies there!  That was an incredible honor and an incredible moment.  Throughout the day they listened and learned at the summit and Jared was even a speaker/moderator for one of the afternoon panels about sponsorship and licensing.   They didn’t come home with this year’s Mochi award but they were still incredibly excited to be nominated and to have BTTD shown among the other nominees.

Later that night they went to an after-party where they talked with TONS of awesome game developers and company owners including ArmorGames, Ninja Kiwi, the creators of the Several Journeys of Remus, AND MORE THAT I NEED TO FIND OUT!  It was another amazing night leaving the team happy and exhausted.

The next day was a bit of a challenge as they had to pull themselves out of bed to catch a flight out of the warm weather and fun.  They made it back to Michigan late in the evening and slept like babies once their heads hit their pillows.  It was another incredible year at the Flash Gaming Summit and we’re already looking forward to next year’s trip!
