Develop Mental: Game Camp

Published 12 November 06 09:43 PM

1,250 Slices of Pizza

1,115 Cans of Pop

480 Time Horton's Donuts

~100 Litres of hot Tim Horton's Coffee

375 "This one time at Game Camp t-shirts"

300 Visual C# Express CDs

5 deep XNA sessions

351 Passionate Attendees!

1 Game Camp

 

So we held the kick off to Game Camp yesterday.  Just incredible.  I'll post more about this later in the week as articles, blogs and pictures continue to stream in.

In all, we had 351 people show up.  Way more than we anticipated which is really good but had it's challenges.  We went through 1,250 slices of pizza and over 1100 cans of pop!  That's incredible on its own.  The pizza place couldn't keep up with the higher volume of people! (we'll need to fix that)

Even with all that pizza and pop, we learned that we needed even more!  (on average every person had half a pizza... crazy!)

My promise is that i will buy more pizza and more pop next time we run this.  Apparently the Tim Horton's coffee and donuts were appreciated

Overall the feedback was incredible!  We're going to regroup and make the next events even better.  Currently we have Waterloo, Hamilton, Ottawa, Monreal and Toronto #2 under development!  Do you want to host an XNA Game Camp?  Post a comment and we'll send you the details!

hey Daniel

This game camp sounds like a great idea (and lots of fun). Too bad you guys didn't have one on the West Coast. I don't know how big of a team you will need to pull off a spectical like this but I woudldn't mind having some details about it (and possiblily put together a team for it on this side of Canada).

As for the pizza problem, I think we need to have multiple pizza place making them (almost like parallel processing)

If you could fire me some details that would be great my email is alphax777 at gmail.com

Thanks
