GDC and PAX East 2014 Wrap Up

Phew! March and April sure were busy months on the ‘out and about’ front for Hololabs.

In March we went to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and were selected to represent Canada in the Canada @ GDC Canadian Video Game Showcase. It was fantastic, and we very much appreciate all the support we had from Telefilm Canada while we were down at GDC.

As a result of we saw some great press opportunities including write-ups in:

A few weeks later, in April, we had our very own booth at PAX East to show off our first playable version of Papercade. It was incredible seeing so many different people using Papercade and loving it! We had a blast and were even included in Applied Gaming and Gamerwife's PAX East recap posts!

All this has us very excited, and we can’t wait to get our beta version up and running so even more people can try it out. So, on that note, friendly reminder that if you are interested in joining the closed beta test you can sign up on the website any time.

Hololabs will be at GDC 2014 in March

Yes folks, the rumors are true. A couple of us from Hololabs will be heading out west to the Pacific time zone to attend the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

There may or may not be flowers in our hair.

Anyhow, if you will also be going to GDC, and/ or will be in the San Fancisco region at the same time, drop us a line! We’ll be there for the whole week, by the way, and we are very much looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones, and showing off Papercade.

See you soon!
