This one will be really quick. Christmas and New Year are quite a big thing in Portugal and both me and Pedro will be out for a couple of weeks. We’ll return, first thing in January!
It has been quite a fun ride so far.
We wish you and your families what we want for us and our families. Have fun, play games and stay classy!
If I counted correctly (and a case can be made that I’m not that good with numbers), there were 30 talks in the Game Dev Camp 2015 not counting the opening keynote.

In this talk I tell the full story of implementing analytics in Miniclip, from the early stages to the current state but the take away points were the mistakes we did and I hope everyone can learn from. So without further ado and since WordPress is giving me a hard time with videos, here’s the link to the video of the talk.
