 <title>A Development Update (or The Long &amp; Twisted Path of Indie Publishing)</title>
 <link>http://riseandruin.com/community/forums/announcements/20100507</link>

&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s been a long while since we went back into closed development. Much longer than we planned. Thought we would provide everyone with an update about where we are and what we&#039;re doing.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Rise &amp; Ruin at GDC 2010!</title>
 <link>http://riseandruin.com/forums/player-zone/rise-and-ruin-at-gdc-2010</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4430083233_df0f168d7f.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the past three days, I&#039;ve been keeping busy giving a daily presentation on the creation of Rise &amp;amp; Ruin.  The talks at GDC 2010 have focused around how our team uses 3DVia&#039;s Virtools to create the game we all know and love.  I met a lot of great people who work for 3DVia, and had a great time talking about R&amp;amp;R to anyone and everyone that would listen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/files/images/joe-gdc.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can check out what else has been going on at 3DVia&#039;s booth, as well as check in on each of my presentations of the conference &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.3dvia.com/blog/gdc-daily-day-3-a-3dvia-studio-star-is-born/&quot;&gt;on their blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also check out some pictures I shot of the Expo and other happenings on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/riseandruin&quot;&gt;Rise &amp;amp; Ruin&#039;s Flickr page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;
