Back From the AGDC
12 November 2001
We are all back from a very successful and enjoyable AGDC. In addition to excellent keynote addresses from Bruce Shelly from Ensemble Studios (makers of Age of Empires) and Bruno Bonnell (Chairman and CEO of Infogrames) we were given sneak peeks at the single player Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Age of Mythology. There were plenty of good papers, a LAN-fest, a small but exciting expo and rather nice biscuits with the tea and coffee. The BigWorld technology made its first public appearance, slightly interrupted by a pair of city-wide power failures. Still, Steve and Simon soldiered on and everyone seemed suitably impressed, particularly with our marvellous trees.
