Onward Christian Soldiers
Christian game developers are again busy marshalling the forces of good. Next month (July 24-26), the folks at the Association of Christian Entertainment (ACE – they probably thought it sounded pretty darn cool at the time) will hold the 2008 Christian Game Developers Conference in Portland.
Portland, Oregon, hardly seems like a video gaming hotspot, but conference organisers may simply have cut a good deal on the venue hire. There’s not a great deal going on during the month of July in Portland. In years past, the highlight on the Portland Events calendar has been ‘Bears Awareness Week’ – basically a week to remind everyone in Portland that the Oregon Zoo still has bears. A quick look at what’s on in Portland next month, and you’ll discover the Oregon Zoo Summer Concert – the natural next step for a city now aware that it has bears. Here’s hoping the bears are still into Boz Skaggs ad Sean Mullins.
Speaking of gaming hotspots, in past years the conference organisers have boasted the participation of video game professionals from Egypt, Korea, Brazil and Nigeria? Clearly they have all the major markets covered.
