Mr. Reeling's assistants (the team who turned the South Bank into a playground during Hide and Seek in May) have contacted the gamesblog to alert us and our faithful and talented readers that they would like to invite you people to submit game ideas for this year's Come Out & Play festival taking place in Amsterdam at the end of September. The event which "turned New York City into a playground for a weekend" by showcasing 25 games throughout the Big Apple over two days, wants to hear from European designers. From the email:
All of the Hide and Seek crew are busy working on some new pervasive games to submit to Come Out and Play Amsterdam. We're looking for new blood, right now, to work on game design ideas with us.
We'll be playtesting those ideas later in the summer and we're definitely going to Amsterdam in September, so we'll keep you posted with playing opportunities in the near future.
If you'd like to get involved on the game design front email us (mr_reelings_assistant+at+gideonreeling.co.uk) with a bit of info about yourself and what you're keen to do, and we'll add you to our design team - it's all terribly open source so the more the merrier.
The deadline for submission is 15 July 2007. Sorry about the late notice!
They also bring the good news that Hide and Seek will return to the capital in October for the 2007 London Games Festival.
