This is truly brilliant news. We run the whole GameCity backend (excepting the knowledge base) from Google apps, and this is going to make things a lot easier.
They should really make this native in iCal though.

Anyway - I’m off to Develop now… See you there?

Brilliant.

Things are moving astonishingly quickly this year, and whilst this particular event has been some time in the making - the issues surrounding it are rapidly clearing. We’ve been frantically tweeting and facebooking this the last hour or so since JoCo announced the gig on his blog - but the good news is that this isn’t even the whole story.

This year the run of games events in the last few weeks has pretty much prevented us from announcing any of our treasures, but we will be able to soon. Then you’ll be sorry.

There were three in all - but here for your viewing pleasure is the one from the ICA gig which featured Alex and Siobhan from Media Molecule as special guests. It’s nearly 12mb, but kind of worth it for the detail in the images.

Not bought the book yet?

You really should…. It’s practically Christmas already.
