So, how will us American's get in contact with you guys? I'm not sure if my phone will work internationally and IIRC Aquas doesn't even have a phone. Should we use a smartphone app like LINE to stay in contact?

Central Rennes is effectively a small place. The main hotels are generally in front of Rennes train station. So finding us all will be a lot easier than you think. Once you know where the Kyriad & Ibis Hotels are, a phone shouldn't be necessary.

I'd check to see if your service provider can be used in France somehow, either calltime or data.
Alternatively, if you have an unlocked mobile, you can put in a local SIM card.
Else, if you have some kind of international data package, we can sort something out via Whatsapp or whatever you young'uns use nowadays. :3

Yom should have given my Facebook account and my phone number to Aquas.

I think i could buy you one or two SIM cards and even a phone for Aquas (good idea Icarus) and give them to you on Thursday.

Just let me know if you're okay with that solution, I don't know how much time they need to send me SIM cards.

I think that will work. My Galaxy S5 can use another SIM card. I can also reimburse you when I get to France.

Finally got my train tickets, will arrive at Rennes the 21st at around 6PM.

I found some guys to sleep with for 3 days at the Ibis "South" but I still need a place to sleep for the eve.

Ratikal suggested that I sneak with him for this night but not sure if Aquas will be ok with it :/

:mrgreen: be warriors, sleep outside. several people did it and we're still alive . and it makes the experience too.., (but i agree that in the past, the "triangle" or the "garage" and his surroundings were a much cooler place to act as this)

I don't think I receieved your facebook and number from Yom, actually.

Otherwise, this plan sounds good to me if it's easy enough. Can reimburse as well.

No need to reimburse me, it's only a few euros. Just enjoy your stay and show us some wonderful demonstrations!

So I managed to get an emergency international plan for a month. Basically I can text unlimitedly, but a phone call is a $1 per minute.

But yeah! Thanks HUmar but I should be all set.

Though, the help is appreciated Humar. I was nearly ready to do a pre-paid internation phone plan myself, but a friend convinced me otherwise. >.>

Well, I don't expect anyone to be making 15min+ phone calls to arrange where to meet up, so unlimited international texting is a good thing. :3
I can use any and all of my contract plan within Europe for an extra £3 a day opt-in/out - unlimited call time, unlimited texts, and 4GB of 4G data. I did buy a travelling SIM card the other day with £20 credit though, but that'll be for emergencies… >_>

Hi everyone!
We are delighted to have been selected to participate at the stunfest!
We are going to show the SHMUP Creator to everyone at the indie games floor. We worked on a nice demo to show you what people can do with the tool, and I hope you'll enjoy it!

I posted some screenshots there:

Are there any plans for Thursday? I figure us Americans are going to be jetlagged a bit (I know I will be...), so just wondering if we're gonna go tour around or just chill at the hotel.

We're arranging to meet up with everyone for dinner in the evening. Yom's already sorting out the reservation.
It's going to be a pretty sizeable table.

Sounds rad. I'm arriving at around 10:30, so I guess I'll just take in the sites myself or something to keep me awake.

P.S. Rennes is pronounced "H-ren" right?

Feel free to take a nap if you want, as the reservation is sometime after 8pm, and both CHI and I won't be getting to the hotel until around 7.30pm. Everyone else should be there by then.

We're arriving with Yom at 11:30 approximately to be there to take Aquas at the train station.

And Rennes is pronounced like "ren" in "siren"

I'll arrive quite late, around 11pm. But Plasmo will arrive super early. So if you arrive earlyish you should call him and so you guys can hang out. See you tomorrow evening :D

Right. Tell Panther Plasmo to hang out in front of Rennes Station swinging his handbag so we can spot him.

His plan was to explore Rennes. So I guess best would be to call him or something.
