As with all of our events, the primary purpose is always to provide a casual environment for local game developers and enthusiasts to meet, exchange ideas and knowledge, catch-up, and generally just have a good time.

Don’t be afraid that there will be nothing for you to do just because you are planning on entering the competition!

Note: If you are keen to participate in the competition, you can register your band in the comments section (just mention your band name and number of people).

We are very happy to be returning to The Velvet Lounge in Mount Lawley (they are always so good to us). Be sure to bring your iPhone, DS, or PSP (and your games!) if you would like to partake in wireless multi-player gaming. Otherwise, just bring yourself (and some friends) to have a look at various iPhone games developed right here in Perth!

Japanese RPG fans may be especially excited to know that GameTraders (Carillon City and Carousel) will be bringing along two PSPs for the exclusive pre-release demonstration of Dissidia: Final Fantasy! We’ll have one of the PSPs hooked up to a projector so everyone can see what the game is like (even if they don’t get a chance to play)!

Hope to see you there! :D

Note: We are inviting local game developers to showcase their games either as part of a looping video reel or live at the event. If you have not heard from us and would like to submit something for display, please use the contact page. We always like meeting new people!

Videogame Trivia Night

We’re very excited to announce that Let’s Make Games June event will be a Videogame Trivia Night!

Pre-purchase tickets are available now exclusively from GameTraders Carillon City and Carousel.

Details:

Get some friends together, grab a table, bring food, and have a good time! Please note that handicaps will apply for teams of more than 8 people, so try to form teams of 8 or less.

The schedule for the night will be:

  • 7:00pm: Doors open
  • 7:30pm: Pizza orders must be in ($5 per half)
  • 8:00pm – 10:00pm: Trivia (4 rounds with half-time intermission)
  • 11:00pm: Venue closes

There are some great prizes lined up and you don’t need to be a video-game genius to win something. The questions will be varied and we’ll have door prizes and fun challenges that everyone can participate in! ;)
