Today Florian is going to co-host an event with veterans of the Austrian gaming scene at the Medienmesse '08. Their topic of talk will be the current state and the future of the gaming industry in Austria.

We determined it would be a perfect opportunity to show a slight glimpse of what Platogo is about since it might as well be the future of online gaming =). Therefore the website of Platogo sports a new splashscreen that explains its main features. We'd love to show more of Platogo as there are lots of unique features that we haven't talked about yet but unfortunately that will have to wait.

There is currently a lot going on in the Nullstars HQ as we are hard at work adding the finishing touches to the beta version of Platogo. The coding fairies are busy sprinkeling their magic fairy dust upon the website to make everything sparkle shiny and new.

In the meantime we suggest you sign up for the beta notification and we'll drop you a mail as soon Platogo is ready.
