IGDA Finland May Gathering

The winter's last cold breath was still to be felt lingering in the air as last May's Gathering took place at Cuba Café as usual, with a delightful 157 visitors present! We've seem to have attracted a nice number of new people to the event this time around, taking into account that a whopping 37 visitors were there for the very first time. Who knows, perhaps the wild rumours about free drink coupons sponsored by Digital Chocolate might have had something to do with that. [singlepic=455,320,240,,center]

Apart from the usual mingling and such, we had the good guys from Digital Chocolate present and they showed us a few of their brand new games, including Tower Bloxx Deluxe for the XBox Live Arcade and California Gold Rush for the iPhone. The 4 player Tower Bloxx setup seemed to be in a specially heavy use all night long, with hardly a moment without anyone eagerly on the controls.

NOTE: The June Gathering starts at 7:00 PM, instead of the 6:00 PM stated in this post earlier.
