Sorry about this. After making a solemn pledge to start trying to document the events which happen around the festival and general adventures, the rolling out of the new GC site caused a good deal of confusion with where I was putting those. Currently, we’re in an insane crunch with the impending launch of the [...]

The last months have been a bit of a relentless string of talks, meetings, developments and – thankfully – progress with the show for this year and the NVA. A few weeks ago Matt pushed the button (or threw the lever, as he would have it) on the first release of the new site and [...]

Very much enjoyed my trip down to London-town last week, meeting with BAFTA and the lovely Mr Dave – before gatecrashing a London IGDA chapter and meeting splendid Siobhan and Andy – before finally being guided across town via the upstairs rooms of several bars en-route to Thoughtworks HQ for their Geeknight, at which I [...]

We’re about to make a few leaps with one of the projects I work on, and I’m nervous and excited about the outcome. As part of the thinking about the new site offer and having spent Christmas reading a really interesting book, we’re gearing up to see what might happen if we start making the [...]

Every year, I forget to make any note at all of the GameCity development process, then we get caught up in the mania of the show and all of the amazing things that happen simply fly by. I can’t remember anything anymore on account of my brain being sub-optimal, so this year I’m resolved to [...]

Upon clearing my N95 , I find an image of Coulton leading the GameCity zombie chorus. Moments later, I was counting Zombies with the Mayor and Sheriff.

Currently most of my waking hours are spent in the final stages of the GameCity festival preparations for this year and planning a number of follow-on events and projects. Regular tech and game blogging is picking up pace over at CultureTech. In other news, this November 21st I’m taking part in a London GeekNight, talking [...]

Back from Develop, which was brilliant. Hugely refreshing to go to a conference that was free of the usual patchiness. More about it later – but my overriding memory of it is over on CultureTech for your perusal.

Jonathan Coulton, nerd-bard of Brooklyn is coming over to GameCity this year. 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 [...]

This wednesday sees the return of Never Mind the Polygons to the Develop conference in Brighton – where I’m going to be all week. If you’re around on Wednesday evening, do come along and see me, Margaret, Jonathan, Mark Rein and Nate Wells arguing about everything.
