Hey guys, thanks to M0Ds, Berian, Rebecca and Tom for all the work you've put into it. It was a great experience and I'm sure without you people caring for the whole event constantly, it wouldn't have been nearly as great as it was.

I have recorded a lot of videos, I still have to work through it and it may take some days, but I have two free weeks now and my goal is to cut two videos a day, so I think I will have it all done before christmas. Fingers crossed.

Mati256: If you have a full recording of Jan Kavan's presentation about interactive music, I would be glad if I can complete my material with it, because my camera turned off after 20 minutes and Jan really wants to have that stuff. Can we work together on this?

There were some guys on the event with running kickstarters and I gave them the raw material to use it for there campaigns before it's too late. Two of them already have uploaded that on Youtube, so even if we didn't do a final cut, I can give you a preview:

The Slaughter by Alex Francois:

We also released some pictures:

More stuff will follow during the next week.

Mati: If your files are too big, try compressing with this one:

Actually I do that if I have to upload and often it reduces the file size to 10 %.

Sounds like a really nice event. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend (as I'm not from England and it would be too costly for me right now), but my friend was in London at that time and she said she enjoyed it (not only the presentations, but also the opportunity to exchange a few words with some of her favorite game developers/publishers). I'm looking forward to the videos, if there are going to be any!

Anxiety attack waiting for your C. Cecil interview neon!!!!

Actually the one that will take most time to cut. Lazy as I am I wanted to move it to the end, but on request, I'll start with it today.

I had an amazing time, thank you for organizing such an awesome event! I think my highlight might have been Mark Estdale's talk. It actually made me want to work in that recording studio!

Now comes the arduous task of matching usernames with faces!

theSynapse · Wed 11/12/2013 15:48:02

Well I, Tom, am theSynapse.

And I'm the guy who placed you in front of that green wall, bothered you with a camera and asked stupid questions :-)

I'd just like to say thanks to you guys for hosting this event again this year, and more importantly finally getting good old Cecil to come down and do a talk!!!

I hope you don't mind me saying it was a huge improvement on last year, if a little crazy with poor Kris and Tom getting dragged into panels to cover disappearing people.

Apologies to any people I didn't really get the chance to talk to. I "think" I saw custard there but was not too sure, and possibly Technocrat, whom I didn't get the chance to speak to last year either.

I spoke to Matt briefly who seemed to be half asleep after partying with DDQ all night (who ironically seemed rather fresh-faced). I never did get round to catching up with DDQ, I was pretty hungover (like m0ds last year but without the sleeping and feeling sorry for myself

). Hopefully all those love messages I left you on IRC will be enough when you next log in

Personal favourites would be the demonstrations of Her Majesty's Spiffing and Jason the Greek, which are approaching the end of their Kickstarter Campaigns:

I regret missing the Adventure Creator demonstration by Chris Burton, but there was a clash with a talk I wanted to see and unfortunately I had no idea which guy he was to go and pester him afterwards. If by any chance anyone has anything from that I would greatly appreciate it.

Ali · Wed 11/12/2013 16:28:25

Yes, I was also cross at myself for missing the Adventure Creator talk. I'd also be interested in any footage from it.

Stee · Wed 11/12/2013 16:30:34

Also, Ali, I was disappointed at the inability to punish m0ds in the CYOA you did this year.

Must try harder

Quite possible! I was there for about 5 hours on Saturday. I wanted to find you, but we'll save that for next year!

Good stuff again guys, wish I could have stuck around for longer.

His full talk is at the link I posted. Not the best quality but audio is ok.

neon · Wed 11/12/2013 22:53:45

Thanks, but can I use it? I'm asking for legal reasons. I can't just grab posted material and use it.

Mati256 · Wed 11/12/2013 23:06:09

Well, you have my permission.

neon · Wed 11/12/2013 23:12:46

Thanks! If you want to be in the credits, send you name as PM to me.

And discovered my unintentional John Cleese cameo!

I'm looking forward to watching some of the talks I missed, and the Charles Cecil interview of course!

Well for now I can offer:

Dave Gilbert presenting Blackwell Epiphany:

Had a great time. Very nice meeting everyone. Thanks to the organizers for making my time in London so spectacular!
