Bit of Alright Conference

Bit of Alright

Last weekend I, CWolf, went to World of Love‘s spiritual successor Bit of Alright indie games conference.

The conference was a great place to meet like minded people from across the indie games scene, listen to some very interesting talks and see some of the unreleased games in development. I met some very interesting people there, especially an artist and an ex-APB developer who I shared a few drinks with at the end of the day.

I found talks on ‘Paper prototyping’, ‘Indie(cent) Exposure’ and ‘Zombie Run’ the most interesting talks of the day. It has given me a lot to think about for Deadworld Studios.

All in all the day was a great experience and I’m looking forward to the next similar event! The conference is covered in much greater detail by RPS and Gamasutra.

Now… back to getting the next Mechadroids update out the door!

Bit of Alright Conference

I’m going to be taking a small break from coding on Friday to attend the ‘Bit of Alright‘ indie developers conference in London. I’m really looking forward to this as it’ll be a great place to meet other developers and pick up useful advice! I’ll be flying out tomorrow (Thursday) night to London then spending some time seeing friends and family. I really can’t wait as this will be the first trip back to the UK since leaving for Germany.

After that it’s back to Mechadroids! I’ll let you all know how the conference was when I get back home. Until then!

Interfacing with UI #4 – Coherent UI

February 5th, 2016

This is part of a series of posts revolving around user interface design and development, the introduction and links to the other posts can be found here. Last I wrote about user interfaces I discussed the new Unity UI system and I wrote about our process of porting from Daikon Forge to it. That was a year and a half ago and a lot has changed since then. To keep things interesting we decided to move from Unity UI (yet another move?!) to Coherent UI and I’ll explain why we did it. Why Move… Again?!... (read more)
