Slitherine

Hi guys,

we are pleased to announce that the Slitherine/Matrix press event 2012 will be on April 23rd-24th in Stresa in Italy. We are flying in developers and journalists from all over Europe to this premier event.

The event is being held at the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees. This amazing hotel has a wealth of history and was an ideal fit for our event.



We will be posting from the event direct to the site in real time with news. And boy do we have a lot of news! We have some major announcements and some amazing projects coming through. It is all very exciting and we can't wait. All the latest info will be posted to the dedicated forum we've just set up. You really need to watch this space as we have some major surprises coming your way next week. Enjoy!

And here are some more pics of the hotel, just to make you jealous!



Remember to check the dedicated forum Monday & Tuesday next week for regular updates!

I'll say! I've been to Stresa and its my favorite town that I've ever been to.

Gee....so that's how the other half lives

Geeze that is a fancy pants place

Guess we pay too much for your games rofl

Hope it all goes well and you keep making cool games.

cheers

Don't forget to tell us how much you paid for the hotel so that we can make some rants in other threads about the way the hotel bills affect the game prices.

If you want the press to come you have to make it a bit special. If you want to blame anyone blame them!

And on top of that those fruits in the bowl are made of plastic. So don't get fooled

and it's nothing but paper mache',...a Potemkin Village. Hopefully the good news is about expansions for Battle Academy.

... and Panzer Corps.

. . . .and Team Assault

And the Commander series!

Well I am sure glad someone has money .... frankly I thought you guys were riding the boneyard as far as funds go.

...and I always thought, if you want to make the press coming you just have to deliver nice products?

I wish that were true! Getting the press to pay any attention at all takes things like this. We certainly would prefer not to spend all this money to get their attention but that's part of what being a publisher requires!

Thats nothing, you should see my house

Hope it goes well. Keep the excellent wargames coming.

Please talk some sense into those cheap Matrix executives that don't like to spend a single $ on development for Close Combat. Slitherine is CC fans only hope to save this game.

I hope Slitherine takes over for Matrix on all future Close Combat projects. Matrix just re-used the same old code riddled with bugs, instead of actually fixing it or rewriting into a modern new game. Also I hope that Matrix does not try to turn CC into a 3D, dime-a-dozen First Person Shooter game for kids.

In comparison Slitherine seems to be a first-class well managed business that actually spends some real $ on development.
