Gamedev Meetup at EPFL

My morning was spent preparing presentations. SO MANY presentations. The first one for the talk session at EPFL, which you will hear about in a sec. The second one for a marketing & communication workshop at the Inkubator on Friday. And then a third for the Zoomz festival we’ll be attending next week.
I also signed up Niche and Tower Offense for the Quo Vadis pitching session and the PolyLan exhibition (to sign up, send a mail to Niels) happening in April. Such business.

In the afternoon, Markus and me headed to Lausanne to attend the EPFL Gamedev meetup. Over 150 students came to listen to the various talks. This was the schedule:
– How to build your own Game Engine, Florian Brönniman
– Introduction to Unity 3D, Mikhail Chatillon
– Introduction to Unreal, Frederic Dubouchet
– Discover Game Jams, a fun Hackathon, David Roulin
– Swiss games, what’s happening in Switzerland?, Dominik Marosi
– Swiss game developer showcased:
Witchlake, Asylamba, Digital Kingdom, Playful Oasis, Tchagata Games, Sunnyside Games

I thought that by now I should have some routine when it comes to presentations. But damn, I was sooo nervous at the start. I rushed through my slides and skipped half of the content. Well, guess I need some more practice

After the presentations, the EPFL offered us a tasty apéro. Had a great time and will join the meetup again for sure! My only criticism would be to hold all the presentations in English, but I want to improve my French anyways so it was ok. I really hope more people from Zurich will join us next time
Thanks everyone for having me and keep up the great work!
