— Please tell us about your impressions of KRI-2006. Were you able to reach the goals you have set?

— To begin with, we haven't set any definite, specific goals for KRI, our main goal is communication, which we had in abundance here at KRI-2006. Nevertheless, the Nival Interactive specialists have done a great job. We exchanged experience, demonstrated our views on the market and its tendencies, as well as defined the main directions of our further development. As for how the exhibition was organized, we can definitely affirm: it is getting more and more professional year by year and gains attention of a greater number of participants. We would like to thank the organizers for that.

— Which advice can you give to the new, young and growing developing companies?

— Above all, I advise them to address themselves to what they are the best at. They must search for and find directions in which there are still no large players, and in which they can see their powers and feel comfortable. Otherwise they will be up against hard competition with large companies. It is a difficult time for the game industry right now, which is connected in the first line with the jump over to the third generation consoles, and the young developers feel the negative effect of that first of all. They must seek a possibility of cooperation with other players and, of course, cooperate with reliable partners. In particular, Nival Interactive is headed towards active cooperation in 2006, and this is a perfect promotion opportunity for young companies.

— Please tell us about your impressions of KRI-2006. Were you able to reach the goals you have set?

— This is a great exhibition, it becomes better and better year by year, more and more new teams and projects appear, which will be valued deservedly. As for our goals, everything goes as planned now.

— What do you think about the further development of this exhibition?

— It is difficult to tell anything about the whole exhibition, but for our company it is, above all, the perfect possibility to show our projects, tell about them not only to the end users, but also to our fellow developer companies and publishers. So we will support this exhibition all the time it will exist.

— Please tell us about your impressions of KRI-2006. Were you able to reach the goals you have set?

— This is a remarkable exhibition that gives a possibility of communication with all the game industry players. KRI means always "new relationships", "new thoughts" and "new cooperation forms".
We presented our projects and received a positive estimation of our activities. Alltogether, we are happy and wish the organizers a further development.
