Unity Talks at Ohio Game Developer Expo this weekend

Hey guys, don't know if everybody's heard or not but I couldn't find threads about it...

So yeah, @Mike Geig will be speaking at the OGDE in columbus ohio this weekend, and I am dyingggg to go because I live here in columbus and well... freakin love unity!

I guess he will be talking about some features of Unity 5, as well as some "Introduction to Unity Workshop" thingy deal jobby.

Anyway that all happens this Saturday, and I am seriously considering buying the saturday ticket to go see it, but I have to work at 4 PM that day and might have to.... be a little sick that day hahahaha

Anybody planning on going? @Mike Geig is there gonna be juicy info coming out in your time on stage? Should I endanger my financial stability in order to come see it? Will you sign my flyer? Hahaha

I somehow managed to not know about this!

I might go for part of the weekend if I can.

 

I'm really psyched actually, planning on begging a co worker to trade me shifts so I avoid ticking off my work to go see it. I'm surprised no big announcements were telling us about this, or at least if there was I missed it.

 

I'm am exhibitor there!

 

Awesome carking! If your there Saturday I'll have to check it out!

 

Hey, I'll be there too! I'll be the guy at the ProBuilder booth.

 

Awesome, I will try to find you there!

 

I live in Columbus and wish I knew about this a bit sooner... though after reading more, it sounds like standing in line only to find out there is no space left sounds... unhappy... like I'd have to decide on something to attend and skip something else just to make sure I'm in line. Maybe I'm being a pessimist.

 

I'm still juggling trying to get out of work Saturday. I'm begging my boss and coworkers tonight at work to trade me out so I can make it without getting fired haha. I figure lines or not, I'll wait to hear the unity news. The first workshop sounds cool but I'm really wondering what will be discussed at the unity 5 features thing. I'm afraid delaying is going to cost me a seat... Might have to get all splinter cell with it to get in

 

Well guys I couldnt go, work was swamped this weekend. It's too bad, would have liked to see the exhibits and everything... Bummer

So now that it's said and done, anybody get video of the unity talks? I'd love to have a YouTube link if somebody got it! Wish i could have made it.

 

The probuilder booth was neat. I liked everyone's.

 

Yeah it's a bummer I couldn't go. I wish I had known further in advance but I hadn't even realized when it was being held until I was checking out at a gamestop and noticed a flyer with a unity symbol on the counter. I picked it up - amazed by seeing a unity symbol in a game store lol - and saw that it was the ogde coming up in only a few days. Next year I'll try to plan further ahead, at least if some unity talks and booths will be there! Heck maybe the project I'm working on now might be ready to show off to you guys!

Edit: oh btw I was in the probuilder early testing phases. I thought it seemed pretty powerful even then. I didn't ever get ahold of the released versions. I bet it turned out pretty solid though!
