[rAge] Minions and Devs Unite!

edited in Events
So I've done a Timetable for rAge I know that some of the guys who have PMed me aren't one there. But I'm not sure what days you guys wanted to work so I haven't put you guys down for days yet.

Otherwise I need to know which of the devs from each studio are coming so I can organize to have tags for you guys.

So if you are showing a game rAge and people are attending a post going "Studio x — 1 person attending Fri, Sat, Sunday" or "Studio y, — 2 people attending Sat, Sunday" it would be great!

Minions: I only need need about 2 more. But this depends on when the people who already PMed me are taking days.

Devs: You can find your interview timetable here

FAQ

Why is there a lunch time

Lunch time is there so we can split people into two groups since we need staff at the stand, but being devs eating means having a good chat. This way we make sure that the stand is manned and people can have good company during lunch ;)

Why are there times that we shouldn't be there

The expo only opens at a certain time for exhibitors unless your stand is on the early access list (I'm not sure if ours is) so instead of having to wait around outside you can just get there at the right time. Also you can get there early you can just hang around and chat with me :P

Can I make games at rAge

Well I'm pretty sure I can't stop you if you walk into rAge with your laptop and sit on the flaw and make games with it. Unfortunately I can't give you a monitor or any stand space to exhibit the development.

    Clockwork Acorn - 2 people attending Fri, Sat, Sun. Leon van Niekerk and Francois van Niekerk (Don't know if you need full names :P) - showing Agent Unseen

    We're arriving in Jo'burg Thursday afternoon, would it be possible for us to to come by then and check to set up/see if everything is working correctly?
  • @Riocide thanks. It might be possible for you to pop by on Thursday. But it really shouldn't be necessary. Stand should be setup and running quite well ;)

    If you still feel like popping by just give me a call when you land and I'll let you know if it's still open.

    PS full names aren't needed since you'll be getting tags from me, and I'm not some kind of bureaucratic nightmare (Though I should totally make that the boss in a game!)
  • Soup With Bits - 2 people : Fri, Sat, Sun
  • Twoplus - 2 attending, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
  • Free Lives - 1 person, friday saturday sunday.
  • Okay.

    So most of the backend admin on this is now sorted (Yay!)

    I still have space for 5 more minions at rAge.

    So if you feel like helping out at the stand, post in the thread and let me know which days you can help or send me a PM.

    :)
  • Also anyone able to give some lifts to students that are coming in from Wits to help?
  • Down to help ( Afro Tim ) Should be able to do Friday and Sunday. Lucked out on Saturday. Preferably Friday afternoon but if you need Friday morning I will be there.
  • For clarity: volunteering to help out. (
    I don't make good games)
  • If you could make a game at rAge I would be most impressed ;)

    Thanks a bunch!

    And added to the list.
  • Still in need of minions? I can do Saturday, possibly Sunday at a stretch

    That would be a very cool thing to do, actually... Especially if you were to allow people who come by the stall to interact with the process.

  • That would be amazing, but alas we need to do floor work :/
  • Updated the FAQ about making games at rAge ;)

    And added Ahmed to the minions for Saturday.
  • @Karuji So. How does this work? We just arrive there with a flash disk with and an .exe? Passes?
  • @SUGBOERIE

    Are you asking about today or the expo in general? I'll be emailing all the devs who are attending with some details later today.

    For the expo in general when you get there you give me a call I come out an give you the tags so you can get in.

    If you have an updated build than the one you submitted to Travis then you bring that and load it onto your computer.

    For some odd reason you feel like coming on the boring day and setting up you can. I'll be at the dome in about an hour or so. But probably best you call and check with me to see that I'm there.
  • For the minions how does this work? I take it that there will be a similar approach?
  • Any word on lifts for wits students?
  • Sitting next to Julian. We are forcing him to eat something now.

    Unfortunately we don't have any sound systems at the home_coded booth as things stand right now. Can any of the guys coming in possibly volunteer sound equipment?

    All devices need to connect via 3.5mm audio jacks.

    Peter, I'll DM you a solution we're organising for you, since Cadence needs audio :P

    PS. I mostly transcribed this from Julian speaking while he's eating pizza.

  • Headphones or speakers? I have extra headphones but not speakers :/ WHAT HOW DOES CADENCE HAVE NO AUDIO.

    What is the audio setup at the moment? Mac on-board speakers, no? Did something change?
  • Ok, basic control under route.

    Cadence was never at risk I had an audio splitter so it would have speakers and headphones. Was going to get headphones for it in the morning so that the people playing didn't have expo noise while enjoying the game.

    Ok if you are brining audio stuff please only bring stuff please we only need speakers. Headphones are quite likely to get stolen, and it's simply not worth it.

    The computers are generic desktop and monitors. So not fancy iMacs that you can just plop down and things just work :<

    If you can bring speakers please send me a message so that I know how many speaker I need to source otherwise.

    Thanks a bunch guys, you are all being really awesome! <3
