There’s much more of the programme yet to be announced, but we have some really exciting things to share with you today, some of which will involve making things, and walking.

Botany:

Chelsea Saunders and Ed Key will be leading a botany walk in the nearby woods and fields, which back onto the venue. Ed is currently working on something unannounced, and is of course one half of the team behind Proteus. Chelsea is based in Wales, currently working on enchanted furniture game Babi Glo. Some of her excellent work is just below, and you can see loads more on her tumblr.

It was these excellent cauldron walk cycles that first caught our eye.

Titan Souls:

Mark Foster and David Fenn will be coming over from Manchester to talk about Titan Souls, a simultaneously brutal and lovely videogame. Wearing Dark Souls inspiration on its sleeve, Titan Souls gets very intense, but that’s punctuated by peaceful moments that make you just sit within and soak up its lovely world. Here’s a trailer showing some of it:

Fanclub, Zines:

Lee Nicholls, Kaylea Mitchem, and Adam Dixon all hail from Nottingham. Kaylea runs the excellent Fan Club, a monthly club night and zine; Lee is a graphic designer and event producer who’s also worked with our friends at GameCity, and Adam is an event producer and game designer with a strong bent toward story-based games and game-likes. Together, and with your help, they’ll be running a game and making something about the whole two days…

Charlotte Gore, Super Lefty Righty:

Also from Manchester, Charlotte Gore will be showing her game Super Lefty Righty, along with a custom controller she built for it. Charlotte is a bona fide Super Hexagon champ, so knows a thing or two about these kind of games. She also recently wrote about altgames, and how the art world is unlikely to be a welcoming paradise for games industry outcasts and outsiders: Part 1, part 2, and part 3.

Holly Gramazio:

Finally, Feral Vector stalwart Holly Gramazio will also be doing a thing, the exact nature of which is TBC, but everything she’s done before has been brilliant and hilarious, such as the DEADLY SERIOUS GAMES spreadsheet from 2012.

That’s all for now, but stay tuned for more programme news soon. Don’t miss todays earlier post about our main venue, the wonderful Birchcliffe Centre. Tickets are over on Eventbrite:

Early badgers end in a week! Edit: Gah, no. We forgot about April the 1st and there’s no way we’re saying anything at all on the internet today. Extended another week.
