GameCraft London - Sat 29th November 2014 @ Skills Matter
Up at 03:30… yes, you read that right… to make the red-eye flight to London from Dublin for GameCraft at Skills Matter. We made it in time with five minutes to spare. I was a bit wobbly self from a wee bit of motion sickness but soon back on my feet after announcing the start of GameCraft at 09:30.
The theme was “Living in a cloud”, and it was so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. At this point I’m never sure if people was just drawing a blank, not being awake seeing it’s so early or the cogs in their heads are working furiously to come up with a game idea.
Green screen was set up by @thecacktus for anyone who wants assets for their game quickly and easily.
@GlobalGameCraft London is full of awesome. Greenscreen action thanks to @thecacktus. Let the games begin #Gamecraft pic.twitter.com/hgN0EoAp0H
