Final Burn 2011 Report
This year we moved to a new venue because the old one shut down. The new venue seemed to work out great for us and everyone seemed to have a great time. The poster art was really impressive too! Overall there were about four studios represented, and about 20 people. It was really nice seeing what React and Wahoo and Smart Bomb were working on; their newest offerings were very impressive! We'd like to thank the volunteers that helped bring equipment and set up, and Legends for hosting! A big Thank You goes to Wahoo Studios for providing so much great food for everyone! Be sure to check out their games and support them: http://www.wahoo.com/ or http://www.ninjabee.com/
Post to TwitterFinal Burn 2010 Report
This year's Final Burn was at the newly revamped Green Street. The upstairs was sporting a couple new cabinets, but less TV's. We had 4 studios demo and members from nearly every major studio (Disney/Avalanche, EA Salt Lake, Eat Sleep Play, Smart Bomb, Wahoo, and React) attend! Most seemed to agree Disney's Toy Story 3 took home Utah Game Dev Choice award this year.
Big thanks to Wahoo Studios and NinjaBee for sponsoring! Please check out their Keflings games on XBLA and show your support for their high quality games!
Final Burn 2009
Another year has already gone by. Many changes have happened for me and for the industry around us- thankfully Final Burn was still very well attended!
It was great to see EASL, Smart Bomb, and React! Games coming to demo their latest releases.
All in all we had employees/founders of six local studios (and one out of state studio!) attend. A big shout-out goes to Wahoo/NinjaBee for the last second sponsorship, and to all the organizers who helped put this together. Thank you!
