<p>In this article, we take another look at 2015-2016 live sessions format and introduce a new showcase format for 2017.</p>
<p><strong>2015 and 2016: live sessions.</strong></p>
As you know, we use live sessions to show the state of our technology and create a small functional game from scratch. We have conducted four live sessions in the past year, which gave birth to the following small games:
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<strong></strong>
</th>
<th>
<strong>Created game</strong>
</th>
<th>
<strong>Live session date</strong>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

</td>
<td>
Whac-a-mole
</td>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<td>

<td>

<td>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

</td>
<td>

</td>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>We spent four months to prepare for these live sessions. It has been an extremely useful experience for us. However, 2017 will have only 2 live sessions. Why? We want to spend more time on actual development!</p>
<p><strong>2017: live sessions + technical previews.</strong></p>
<p>Starting next year, we will be doing technical previews twice a year. A technical preview is another way to show the state of our technology, but without creating new games and conducting live sessions.</p>
Heres an approximate schedule of technical previews and live sessions for 2017:
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<strong></strong>

<th>
<strong>Month</strong>
</th>
<th>
<strong>Showcase type</strong>
</th>
<th>
<strong>Topic</strong>
