Project Agora and the Future of Social Gaming If you've been following my blog or social media, you'll know that I've been working on a secret project called Agora for several months now (agora meant a social gathering place in ancient Greece). This project actually goes all the way back to August when I started looking for ways to take GoldFire Studios to the next level, and that thought process has taken me on a six month journey that will reshape GoldFire Studios and hopefully browser-based gaming.

It's hard to place your finger on it because it isn't really something you can explain, but you know it when you see it.

GDC Online 2011 Recap If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I've been having a blast at the Game Developer Conference Online 2011 all week in Austin, TX (what a fitting destination for a Sooner after thrashing Texas over the weekend). This was my first business conference of any kind, and GDC was definitely a great start. I spent Monday through Thursday learning from the best in the business and getting motivated/inspired to bring some great new experiences to the players of GoldFire Studios games. Even...
