Jakub Dvorsky is coming back to GameCity in March to headline the Nights gig on the 25th. I’m really excited about this as not only is he showing Amanita’s TWO new projects for the first time ever, but he’s also going to be talking about the work he’s done as art director on this… Kooky, [...]

I’ve been away off grid for a week on holiday. Get back and discover that DoubleFine are doing the ‘From the Desk of” spot tomorrow evening… Hope you can make it – come and say hello if you do!    

A quick note – I’m going to be interviewing Karl Hilton, MD of Crytek UK during the FrontEnd of the next GameCityNights. “Karl will be giving a personal perspective on his experiences in videogame development in the UK, looking back over his experiences in a number of acclaimed studios. Touching on skills, operating cultures and [...]

Had an amazing night at the start of the new GameCityNights shows a week ago. It turned out to be one of the better attended, strangest, longest and increasingly enjoyable events we’ve held. A huge amount of hand-wringing from the GameCity team was entered into the following Monday morning as we lapse into our inevitable [...]

We’re just about to fire off with the next season of our Monthly series of ‘videogame’ shows over at Antenna, GameCityNights. When we started them last year we were hoping to have an easy-to-organise, lightweight hang-out once a month to share some interesting stuff and provide a safe-haven for geeks at least once a month late night [...]

A month of talking… Spent a great day last Saturday at mediacampnottingham 2 talking about the festival, and more specifically our current schemes to open it up and make both the production and the participation immeasurably easier. Martin Wright did a generous write-up of the session over at his blog. MCN2 was a really exciting [...]

Getting very excited about being able to get on with the first monthly event out of GCHQ, and particularly excited that the brilliant Hello Games are coming up to launch the season with us. I think this series of shows is going to act as a really useful prototyping ground for some of the things [...]

We’ve been having lots of meeting about the show. I mean, lots. I’m not really a big meeting lover so usually this would be particularly difficult. This last few weeks though, have been fantastic as a whole lot of new names have entered my address book. This week alone there’s been stadiums, olympics, design, editors [...]

Lee has pretty much captured the key tapes from GC4 now, and there now resides hours – possibly even days – of footage from the show on the studio drobo. One of the plans we’ve been chipping away at for months now is the gradual release of all of the archive material, and it seems [...]

Things are suddenly, rapidly coming into focus. Following the show, we spend a lot of time gathering feedback, anecdote, praise, complaint – and then try and order it into something we can learn from. More often than not, the complaints tend to be the same ones that we would levy against ourselves. This year in [...]
