Holy. Cow. Last week was a wild ride for all of us at GarageGames. While we were hoping for a decent turnout and a chance to meet some of the people who have made our site a hub for game development, we were floored by the traffic we received in our GDC booth. Thanks to everyone who partcipated, both on site in San Francisco and online at our ustream channel. Never in our wildest dreams had we imagined such a great show!

As promised, we took videos of all of our booth demonstrations. My fellow GG'ers will be posting blogs soon of our Torque 3D and live chat interviews, but for now, feast your eyes on these Torque game demonstrations that took place in our booth last week (note that many of these presentations are presented uncut and unedited from their original presentation):



GarageGames shows off PlayLegions, powered by InstantAction



Perfect Dork Studios shows off Box Macabre, made with Torque X 3D



Stickman Studios shows off Buccaneer, made with TGEA and published on Steam



Tandem Games shows off Bumble Tales, made with TGB and to be published on Big Fish



Sudden Games shows off Sushi to Go, made iTGB


Thanks again to everyoe involved with GDC 2009. I'm done for the year! But keep your eyes peeled for a few more post-GDC blogs from GarageGames.

About the author

I strengthen the Torque brand by promoting Torque-made games. Talk to me about your Torque projects - XBLA games, casual portal hits, iPhone Apps, simulations or MMOs - and we'll work together to spread the word.

It's like GDC never ended and the great time I had followed me home! Congrats to Garage Games and all the Torque developers for making it such a great booth and experience.

Interviews in their organic form!

A great insight into what happened in GDC (you just need to turn your speakers up a bit! Actually some of the background chatter was really interesting too!)

Wow, Box Macabre really does seem like Super Metroid. FINALLY! Someone is making a 3D Platformer / Side Scroller in the style of Metroid. I've been saying that since the original Metroid Prime (though I do love the Prime series too). Kudos, can't wait for the full game!

Nice to see some of the video footage from GDC :) and to see some of what others are doing with Torque Tech.

Any chance of seeing the mythical South Pacific Demo footage from GDC?
*edit* Nm, just saw Michael Perry's post.

I think "South Pacific" will be making an appearance in a Torque 3D dev blog here soon...meanwhile I'm damning the hotel internets for their slow upload bandwidth...
