It’s been quite some time since the last update and I have been up-to varied things in these past few months!

I went from reading a lot of new books, exploring some new tech to giving exams for the business management and project management programme I was enrolled in … and successfully clearing it!

I have been taking/making some photographs but haven’t been active in organising the stock and uploading some good ones.

Apart from all these and several other things, that which takes the cake and has effected me the most and in a good way is… Starcraft 2!!!

The last 3 days at GDC Europe came to a really good end with me getting some inside info on the demo scene by Dierk ‘kaos’ Ohlerich himself!!! Apparently there is a demo scene party in 2 weeks in Cologne as well, would be interesting if am able to come back here again at the weekend for it!!!

Now am not really going to go into the details about the lectures or talks as the contents can be found quite easily on the web and am far from a journalist, but there were several interesting things to take away from this GDC.

Today marks my first day in Cologne for the GDC Europe and then Gamescom. Things seem to be going well so far!

Also I complete 3 years today in the Games Industry.

Booking a place in advance really paid off and the place I will be living at for the next week is really cool!!! After all the talks and the parties it’s nice to know you will be going back to a comfortable place where you can rest properly.

Day Zero: We collected our passes through the early registration today and due to my honesty we returned an extra pass we had gotten by mistake. Was wondering if it would have been better to keep it and give it to some needy soul who wanted to attend GDC but could not, or whether I did the the right thing by pointing out the mistake.

The rain was very annoying to say the least, where I succeeded at planning a bit ahead for registrations and a place to stay, I failed at looking up the weather here at Cologne. Having lived most my life in India where I doubt they ever get the forecasts correct (not that I used to consult them earlier) but the relative accuracy of the German weather department makes me feel like I should look at the weather forecasts every time before going to another city or planning an outing.

I had a busy last month with a lot of things going on at the same time… regardless of that I did manage to find some time to take some photographs. For this month though am the most excited about attending GDC Europe (Game Developers Conference) and Gamescom next week!!!

On another note I have started uploading the web versions at twice the earlier resolution for some extra detail at full size. Anyhow, here are some of the photographs from July.

I had planned to post the 3rd and final part of June shots by this weekend but it seems like I couldn’t manage enough time to put them all in here… for now I will start with a couple and in the coming few days keep adding more photographs!

I was traveling most of June and got the opportunity to take some good photographs. Now as there are quite a few pictures I feel like posting here, this will probably be a 3 part post. Anyways here they are, do let me know what you think of them 🙂

This could basically be anywhere, any guesses on the possible location?
