So I mentioned last week that I was going to LAUNCH Conference 2013, as well as being short listed for the Best Portfolio LAUNCH award (see here to show I wasn’t lying). Now that it’s been over for some time, I figured I shall write about it.

I have returned! A brief summary of Iceland and Gaming News.

by in Secret of Escape, Visits and Events and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

Yes! I am back from Iceland and I feel great!

Iceland was a brilliant country to visit, great views, calm city life and amazing hot springs which are better than any beach I have been to. While the weather was freezing, and was so cloudy I never got to see the Northern Lights, the holiday made up for it with heated housing and a really good location. I have scenic photos which you can see here.

So now it’s back to work from me! I’ll be at the Launch Conference in Birmingham on Thursday and Friday, where I’ll be wandering around talking to other devs (and maybe you), listening to the talks, playing some games, and I am shortlisted for the LAUNCH Conference Best Portfolio Award! I’ll be showing some photos of the event of course, and I’ll be continuing my development of Secret of Escape, so you might have a chance to try it!

In the meantime, feel free to read an article about Secret of Escape from 4logpc.com! It’s a great site about PC gaming that writes really good stuff, totally worth a read.

Eurogamer 2013: Day Before

by in Visits and Events and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

Hey guys! It’s Saturday and despite Eurogamer still running until Sunday, I’ll tell you about my time at Eurogamer! This was surprisingly my first time at Eurogamer, I missed out last year so I really wanted to go after missing out on a lot. Thanks to being a Windows Games Ambassador, I volunteered help with Microsoft’s Windows 8 and Dreamspark promotion at the event and got to be a zombie! But more on that when we get to it, because here’s a summary of what happened on the day before Eurogamer started.
