Yesterday Vermont held an open house for game developers at the state capital. It was part of a larger effort to show the local government that 1. we exist and 2. that development is a really great way to bring money into Vermont (and have it stay there) as well a way to keep some of the "young people" in Vermont.
And while Burlington is a great booming college town, there is a pretty serious age gap between the college aged crowd and new parents. After graduating students, especially in the technology field, are leaving the state for better opportunities.
So for about five hours we joined the rest of the Vermont game development community (all three of them) and showed off some of the projects we have been working on. Hopefully our presence there helped to balance out the public opinion that has been recently surfacing about the content and affect of video games.
