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

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.

Gamepopper at Eurogamer

Hello everyone!

On Thursday and Friday, I’ll be at Eurogamer Expo in London. You’ll most likely find me either at the Microsoft Booth or the GamesIndustry Fair as I’m helping out with their Windows 8 promotions. Sadly I won’t have Secret of Escape ready for exhibition, but I’ll be showing it off at the Loading Bar in Soho as part of Indie Haven’s Indie Games Event.

So you may or may not see me, but feel free to visit Microsoft’s booth or the GamesIndustry Fair anyway, as well as the many other things there such as the conferences, the new and old games, the indie games display and many more! I’ll be writing about my time during the weekend, so stay tuned!

So it’s been a few weeks, so I figured I’d show you some of my favourite games from the passing GBJam. Of course there are many brilliant submissions (including the one I was involved with :P), but here are just some of the great ones that appeared.
