Feeling positive after an interesting night attending the Games Co-Op meet-up in Dublin this evening.
I went along to put Jukebox in front of as many game developers as I could to get their feedback, and to see if I could enlist anyone in trying out the pre-release system.
I was very conscious that I didn’t want to give a sales pitch – we’re not selling anything at the moment – but at the same time wanted to convey the value that we are trying to create for game developers with Jukebox. Plus, I’m the world’s worst salesman; so I figured that it was better to let the technology do the talking…
I was very glad I brought along an external speaker to amplify the output. Trying to demo a music-based app from a laptop in a noisy pub was never going to be optimal conditions; but at least people could hear that there was some music coming out when it was supposed to.
All told it was a great experience for me. I’ve demo’d tech products many times before; but this was the first time I’d demo’d something where it was my own product, rather than that of a company I was working for; so emotionally there was a lot more at stake. People seemed to respond very positively to the idea – I got some really useful and constructive feedback, and met some interesting people that I hope will be sufficiently intrigued by Jukebox to give it a go.
