So, we are back from Rio! (actually, we arrived in Curitiba late saturday) The highlights of the event I would say it was Jason Della Roca’s provocative keynote about the current state and trends of the games industry, and the panels about important issues of game development in Brazil. Both resulted in pretty useful discussions!
Besides that we heard some good news about funding opportunities and met a lot of nice and promising fellow developers and students (networking is key, right?). So, despite the uninterrupted rain, sprained ankles, organizational flaws and overall below-par content, the Symposium was fairly nice.

Well, this is just to say that we came back alive and are safe and sound. More information and specific details about SBGAMES 2009 and Aduge’s trip to Rio in general will be posted later. See ya.
