Got an email today from Tom Woolley, Curator of New Media at the National Media Museum and also one of the organisers behind the brilliant Bradford Animation Festival. The annual event features a dedicated videogame strand - regular readers might remember that I hosted this last year, which didn't seem to overly detract from its success.
Well, they're busy getting ready for this year's iteration, and the videogame theme will be 'Immersive Worlds' - "exploring interactive narratives, sound design and the blurring of online and real worlds". Confirmed speakers include Mind Candy (a creator of alternative reality games), Rare, Sony and Second Life developer, Linden Lab. Oh and, unless my second child arrives late, I'll be there too.
Mark November 14-17 in your diary now!
