- <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>
- 1
- </td>
- <td>
- Whac-a-mole
- </td>
- <td>
- November 2015
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 2
- </td>
- <td>
- Rolling ball
- </td>
- <td>
- February 2016
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 3
- </td>
- <td>
- Domino
- </td>
- <td>
- May 2016
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 4
- </td>
- <td>
- Mahjong Solitaire
- </td>
- <td>
- September 2016
- </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>
- Here’s an approximate schedule of technical previews and live sessions for 2017:
- <table>
- <tr>
- <th>
- <strong>№</strong>
- </th>
- <th>
- <strong>Month</strong>
- </th>
- <th>
- <strong>Showcase type</strong>
- </th>
- <th>
- <strong>Topic</strong>
- </th>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 1
- </td>
- <td>
- January
- </td>
- <td>
- Technical preview
- </td>
- <td>
- Android platform support
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 2
- </td>
- <td>
- April
- </td>
- <td>
- Live session
- </td>
- <td>
- Android game creation
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 3
- </td>
- <td>
- July
- </td>
- <td>
- Technical preview
- </td>
- <td>
- To be announced
- </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- 4
- </td>
- <td>
- October
- </td>
- <td>
- Live session
- </td>
- <td>
- To be announced
- </td>
- </tr>
- </table>
- <p>That’s it for taking another look at 2015-2016 live sessions’ format and introducing the new showcase format for 2017.</p>
