Myself and Joe Kinglake woke up at the crack of dawn on a bright Saturday morning to get the coach from Ipswich all the way to London South Bank University to attend Game Camp 5 and 'unconference' for Game Designers and players alike.
We attended a wide range of talking varying from Women In The Games Industry, Social Catalyst/Icebreaker Games, How To Get A Job In The Industry, Deeper Emotions In Games... How? and many many more.
Finally arrived!

A both rewarding and exhausting day was had but overall worth it, I would recommend looking out for future Game Camp events in order to attend. I know I will be.
Indie Game: The Movie is a feature documentary about video games, their creators and the craft. The film follows the dramatic journeys of video game developers as they create and release their games to the world.
The film is about making video games, but at its core, it's about the creative process, and exposing yourself through your work.
This trailer and the film features: Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, Phil Fish, Jonathan Blow.
I have recenlty signed up to Kongregate which is a great place on the Internet for Indie Game Developers to get games out there and played by other developers or gamers. It has been great for constructive critisims on my games and the forums hold some excellent information on the technical side of Game Development.
Did a gameplay recording of PUTS for feedback purposes on youtube at its current development stage. Jamie Sams, Joe Kinglake, Thomas Weaver and myself have developed this as part of our group project module at University.
Finally learnt how to texture models efficiently in 3Ds Max.
This is what I did for Phil's lesson this evening, might not look like much but I learnt so much from this simple tutorial given in the lesson which I just finally completed!

Now I can go back to some of my old 3d models and work on mapping them, something that I could never get a grasp on when I was once teaching myself.
