Gamedevelopers.ie launched in 2003, is a vibrant on-line forum, networking and
information resource for the Irish game development community.[/quote:9a1302b4b7]Go on GD.ie! It’s a long report to go through, but I’ve been scanning a good bit of it and it’s all pretty positive.
The focus the industry has been getting over the last year and a half is really good, and nice to see that we’re finally getting some attention. Now we can move beyond bitching about them not seeing the industry, and focus on really making what needs to happen actually happen.
Big or small, every games company whether it’s in development, publishing or other functions is a good thing, so kudos to everyone involved in the report.

15 Systems Engineer 14/04/2011you are best off checking the exhibitor lists at the gamescom website, as a lot of the specialist ad networks will be listed there.
You will want to say that you are interested in being a publisher with ads displayed in-game. I’m not sure how many of them are working on android though, it might just be google ads and
I hope this helps

Hi all,
I’ve sent a mail around Gala Networks Europe, so there’ll probably be a couple of us there. Once I have the numbers, I’ll ring ahead and book a table.
I’ve also said it to a couple of people in Riot Games, so hopefully we’ll get a couple from there too.
Thanks
Jamie
I love the fact that this news was originally posted here on GD.ie and the Indo website on Thursday March 18 2010
The problem with writing articles for the site is twofold: 1. time and 2. topics.
I don’t have a problem writing games industry articles for the site, but as the site has pretty much focused on just the development side of the industry, whereas i’m in marketing/pr/publishing there isn’t really much scope for me to write articles.
That said though, if the remit of the site broadens a lot (ie the games industry in Ireland, not just development) wbich would more accurately reflect the actual industry we have in the country, then it would certainly help attract a lot more people into the site. Most of the people I work with are in QA, Customer Services, Producers, IT support. Not the glamourous lead programmer roles or artist roles.
I’m a lot less active than I used to be, and there was no birthday event, no 7th birthday and it seems like a lot of people on the site who were active aren’t any more. Also shindigs haven’t been organised with much notice, so I haven’t been able to attend the last couple.
Most of the people working in the games industry in Ireland do not work in development, or come from Ireland. I know when the site started we all hoped that there would be big developers coming here etc etc etc. It didn’t happen, but we got a large number of publishers setting up.
I’d be more than happy to write up some articles on the business/marketing/pr side of things if people are interested in them, and can actually tell me what it is you want to know.
Hi guys,
The correct url is http://www.gamerexpo.net/ and there’s an article about it at http://www.gamersireland.ie/?p=6192
