GAMECITY NIGHTS

I found a page through facebook about a gamecity nights event in leeds and joined the page to see what it was about. Whilst on there i met a nice guy called andrew who was showing a game that he'd made there and we talked a lot before the actual event. I booked tickets for myself and my friend and attended the event at the electric press in Leeds near millennium square. First impressions were that it was a very small event, very indie like but it was still good to see. There were about 6 groups of people that had designed games and got up and showed and talked about the designs and points of their games. There were a few good and a few that seemed like they needed work but everyone gave good feedback which was good to take in. As it was such a small event and room everyone was networking and getting involved so i was able to meet andrew that i had spoke to through facebook and it was lovely to meet someone who gave me good advice and was interested in what others were doing. Through it we still talk now and he has put a link up to my blog on his professional website which is lovely of him :) He also has linked me up with summer internships and placements so even though sometimes i don't like doing it networking does work.
