Is anyone planning to go to the Australian Game Developers Conference in December, down in Melbourne?

Hey Pete, did you have any luck with finding a job after the dip II? I did the Cert IV last year (Thom Magills class) so I saw a fair bit of the Motifera work. Played a bit of counterstrike too (GreyFox and DragonTriad monikers).
Love the 3d stuff on your site.
Was wondering if you could tell me how many of the Motifera team landed work after the course?
Cheers
Jono

Hi guys,

Happy to say hi and chat to anyone attending.

Hey Guys,
It seems from the AGDC site from what i can tell the John Romero speech has been canned.
Any idea if this is correct?

I am going on a 3 day student pass :)
There's something useful from TAFE!
Maybe there should some some sort of Sumea meet!

I am keen but dont have the time to organise it.
Souri your the man of the moment :)

As Brad said, we're keen to meet up with people. We'll probably be hitting some clubs and stuff while in old Melbourne town also, if anyone has suggestions ;-).
Should be a fun trip. Is anyone going to the dinner? (we are).

Ok :)
I'll bite. For those who are intrested in getting together drop me an email cheryl@sol3.wow.aust.com
Looking at the schedule I would guess Saturday or Sunday.
As for where! ACK! I've only been in Melbourne for 5 years and I don't spend much time in the city itself. So ideas for where would work, too :) Southbank and Crown are nearby...

Um, yes that would be "logical". Didn't actually think it had to be stated tho ;-)

I'll be there, barring any unforseen bus accidents... most of the AIE guys will be at the Enterprize AFAIK, and I'll be tagging along with them. The Sumea get together isn't a bad idea but I'd suggest keeping it close to the hotels and conference centre, easier to meet and get around. I'm far too broke to go far beyond walking distance. There are heaps of places around there, hell, the casino is just over the bridge.
I'm not sure which day would be best, given the big party is Friday night and most devs will be at the dinner on Saturday. Maybe lunch would be a better idea?
BTW, Strkeagle might be good behind a sniper rifle but up close he's meat just like everyone else to my 133+ skillz. I seem to recall kicking as much as I was kicked. :p
We will also be at the enterprize.
LETS ROCK THAT JOINT YEAH

I sent out a few emails through the forum, and yes, seems most people are busy both nights with dinners.
Unless people are heading home on Sunday I thought that might be the best day to get together - maybe a dinner and/or after dinner.
Casino and Southbank are close and should work well!
Feel free to email me (see post above) if you didn't get an email but want to get together.

Theres a reeeeally nice pub in collins st called the charles dickens. It'd probably be packed out friday and saturday, but sudnay night it would probably be a nice little quiet place :)
They have a very wide range of beer on offer, and if i remember correctly they also have guiness on tap.
They have a huge screen TV too, depending on the time it's usually playing sports but sometimes they have things like Red Dwarf on there haha.
CYer, Blitz
was intending to do the 3 days...
