The Shindig

GameDevelopers.ie is partnering with IDA Ireland and The Science Gallery to organize an event, Irish Game Development 2.0, on Friday the 15th of May from 6.00pm in the Trinity Science Gallery on Pearse Street in Dublin.

This event will see speakers from PlayFirst and PopCap talking about both the technical and business side of developing casual games for PC and iPhone.

Speaking on the night will be Barry O’Moore, Senior Producer of PlayFirst International Inc, a recent startup in the Guinness Enterprise Centre and a branch of a highly successful US based casual games company. He will be followed by Paul Breslin, Operations Director at PopCap Games International Ltd, the well known and regarded casual games company with offices in Dublin.

The industry speakers will be followed by a ‘Show n’ Tell’ event where indie, company and individual developers show current projects. This will be accompanied by some refreshments.

• “Porting PlayFirst’s games to iPhone” by Chris Gregan.
• “Coretex: An indie iphone game made for under 500 euro” by David Kelly
• “A look at Digital Sideburn’s first iPhone game” by Alan Taylor & David Sims
• “From Photoshop to iPhone (for non-Photoshop users)” by Colin Barrett
