Update: Check out the new flyer!
We are very happy to announce our third event for 2011: Show Us Your Bits!
Last run in 2009, Show Us Your Bits is all about showcasing locally-developed games and local game developers. If you make games, we encourage you to come on down and show off your work. If you’re interested in games, this is a great opportunity to meet local game makers, play their creations, learn more about how games are made, and even make your own!
As with all of our events, this is a free public event. Please download our hi-res flyer, print it out, and post it wherever you think it will be of interest. 😉

- Title: Show Us Your Bits (2011)

An RSVP isn’t necessary if you just want to stop by and see what’s happening, but we really appreciate them because they help ensure enough space and food!

Registration:
You only need to register (via the contact form) if you would like to present your work in the showcase or give a presentation. Here are some quick details on what you will need to do:
- If you would like your work shown in the show-reel (which will be played on a large projector during the showcase, and embedded on this website), just upload a video (1-4 minutes) to YouTube and send us a link. 😉
- If you would like to show off your work as part of the showcase, please send us a title, screenshot, and team name (and logo if you have one). We’ll send you more information (such as when to setup etc.).
- If you would like to give a presentation, please contact us with a title, your team name, and (very) brief description. (Our presentation places fill up pretty quickly, but we try to give everyone a chance to present and will keep you in mind for the next event if we can’t fit you in this time!)
4 of us will come along to have a look, thanks.
Thanks for letting us know! 🙂
