After a two week visit to Europe I’m now back in San Francisco and settling into my regular work habits once again. My recent business trip had me visiting company headquarters in Copenhagen for one week, then spending most of the second week in Germany attending Casual Connect Hamburg. The conference was great for us as an attending sponsor and for us as geeks in the game industry in general. We spent most of our time either attending to our sponsor table, having specific one-on-one meetings or enjoying lots of social time at various meet-ups and bar events. Through it all we managed to chat up a number of folks, including some existing users, lots of potential new users and a slew of people with various technology of interest to anyone using Unity. I have to offer my thanks to Luke Burtis and Jessica Tams of the Casual Games Association for putting on another fantastic conference!
在访问欧洲两个星期之后，我现在回到了旧金山，再次适应了我的日常工作习惯。 我最近的商务旅行使我到哥本哈根的公司总部参观了一个星期，然后在第二周的大部分时间里在德国参加了Casual Connect Hamburg 。 这次会议对于我们作为赞助赞助商以及对于整个游戏行业的极客来说都非常重要。 我们大部分时间都花在了我们的赞助方桌子上，举行特定的一对一会议或在各种聚会和酒吧活动中享受大量的社交时间。 通过这一切，我们设法与许多人聊天，包括一些现有用户，许多潜在的新用户以及许多使用Unity的人所感兴趣的各种技术的人。 我要感谢休闲游戏协会的 Luke Burtis和Jessica Tams 举办了另一个精彩的会议！
Workin’ the Table Our main focus at the conference was to work our sponsor table (we were a Silver sponsor for the event) as it’s a great opportunity to meet with and talk to a wide variety of people working in the casual games space. During three days of table duty we spoke to a number of existing users as well as lots of potential new users, all of that providing some great touching points on the community which I always enjoy. In addition to those folks we were able to talk to a number of people with related technologies or efforts that play into the developer community at large. Those included a few portal and publisher representatives as well as a number of folks offering various payment and transaction solutions, including in-game micro-transactions. I’ll draft up more information on what I learned there later, for now let’s stick with the high-level summary material, and of course a few photos…
工作在桌子上我们在会议上的主要重点是工作我们的赞助商桌子(我们是活动的银牌赞助商)，因为这是一个与休闲游戏领域的各种各样的人会面和交谈的好机会。 在三天的工作时间里，我们与许多现有用户以及许多潜在的新用户进行了交谈，所有这些为我一直很喜欢的社区提供了一些很好的接触点。 除了这些人之外，我们还可以与许多具有相关技术或努力的人进行交流，这些人在整个开发者社区中都发挥了作用。 其中包括一些门户网站和发行商代表，以及提供各种付款和交易解决方案(包括游戏内微交易)的许多人。 我将起草更多有关后来在这里学到的信息的信息，现在让我们继续使用高级摘要材料，当然还有几张照片……

Being Social Like all game industry conferences there was plenty of social time booked into the schedule! We started the week right by hanging out with a few friends in town, then each of the two conference nights featured planned events which we naturally attended. The first of those two events was the Real Games party held near the conference hall, it featured an open bar, food and a solid crowd. On the second night the conference organizers had the official party, but we broke from that and hosted a bit of a drinks and mingle on our own at a local Hamburg bar, the Zoé 2 / Sofabar. While our party was certainly nowhere near as large as the official party, it was great as we met with a smaller and more intimate crowd of folks specifically interested in Unity. In attendance were existing users like Martin and Ricardo, but also some potential new ones, folks from the local IGDA chapter and other well wishers and general friends. All told the week was fruitful on both a business and a personal front as I love getting together with folks and having a chance to know them on a personal level, not just via email/IMs/IRC/the forums.
社交活动像所有游戏行业会议一样，日程安排中也充斥着大量社交时间！ 我们从与城镇中的几个朋友一起出去开始了本周，然后在两个会议之夜中的每一个都有我们自然参加的计划活动。 这两个事件中的第一个事件是在会议厅附近举行的Real Games聚会，其中包括开放式酒吧，食物和一群人。 在第二天晚上，会议的组织者举行了正式的聚会，但我们中断了聚会，并在当地的汉堡酒吧Zoé2 / Sofabar上单独招待了一些饮料并进行了交流。 虽然我们的聚会肯定远没有正式聚会那么大，但是当我们遇到了一群对团结特别感兴趣的，人数较少，更加亲密的人们时，这真是太好了。 与会人员包括Martin和Ricardo之类的现有用户，还有一些潜在的新用户，来自IGDA本地分会的人们以及其他良好的祝愿者和普通朋友。 总而言之，本周在商务和个人方面都硕果累累，因为我喜欢与人们聚在一起，并有机会在个人层面上认识他们，而不仅仅是通过电子邮件/ IM / IRC /论坛。
Martin and I having a good time

So that puts a wrap on another great trip and conference experience, thanks to everyone that made it such a fantastic week!
