Through various machinations and extensive planning, Tim and I managed to get a group of shooting game creators together in one place to talk about a variety of things. We had Kenta Cho (ABA Games - left in photo), Jonathan Mak (Everyday Shooter - middle), and Omega (Every Extend - right in photo) all sitting around a table playing Everyday Shooter on Mak's laptop. They discussed bullet techniques, enemy patterns, and things like that. It was incredibly cool to have Mak sitting there saying "this level was inspired by you (pointing at Cho), and this level was inspired by you (pointing at Omega)." I don't think I have to tell you it was an awesome event to be a part of. The results of the conversation were recorded (sound, and a bit of video), and will probably go up on Gamasutra or something. If not there, then here!
