My dreams, thoughts and truths
My USA Marathon
Back in August 2008, I went with Jérome, my CEO, to San Francisco, California, to present CITIES XL to the press. We received a very much appreciated welcome which motivated us even more to pursue our directions with the game.
Next month, I’m getting back to USA but, this time, we’ll be travelling internally. Our schedule is very tight:
- 07/12: we take off from Paris to London where we’ll catch another flight to NYC.

- 08/12: in the evening, we’ll be taking another flight to San Francisco, California.

- 09/12: still in the evening, we’ll catch a new plane to Los Angeles, California.

- 10/12: err… in the evening, we’ll fly back to San Francisco.

- And finally, 12/12: we’ll get back to Paris with another step in London, UK.

Very busy business travelling, isn’t it?… I still hope to find some time to spend around… Actually, my wife, Jennifer, asked me if I could get her some christmas gifts from there… Hopefully, I will, or she may be sad.

Do I get a christmas present too?
Also, what will you do in this tour? A Hands On preview with the developers? Come on, I thought we agreed back in the CU days that we get the beta then the press get the hands on, and the beta will be for us founders. Ok, I’m getting picky aren’t I?

@Ashley: We are not making a Hands On preview but showing our faces around to the press and some other companies to present CITIES XL… Nothing more really that we already shown you…
@Josh: I’m sorry Josh but I missed your comment and I flew back to San Francisco… Even then, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet up because we stayed only a couple of hours in LA. But I’ll come back for sure before the game is released and it would be a pleasure to meet next time

So you went to IGN, Gamespot, and the EA Games HQ (fingers crossed you blew up EA
) and said ‘Hello, look at my face (Bad isn’t it
) I am Philippe DaSilva, Internet Director of Monte Cristo Games and we are making CITIES XL a bla bla bla, goodbye’, correct? Thought so

Not exactly Ashley… We didn’t go visiting the named companies this time but some others…
