I’m pretty sure I’ve already mentioned it, but I’ll be Rezzed in Birmingham UK this weekend<\/strong><\/span> with Mitu<\/a> from the Tiniest Shark showing off our games Democracy 3<\/a> and Redshirt<\/a>. (I’m the publisher of redshirt, mitu is the developer<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Rezzed is a PC gaming show run by eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun and the last one was totally awesome. there are developer talks and lots of games on show, including triple A stuff and lots of really good indie games. You should definitely go. It’s at the Birmingham NEC which is trivial to get to if you live within a bazillion miles of it :D<\/p>\n

\"rezzed1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right, that’s the sales pitch over with, so lets get to the more human interest honest heart-on-wrist stuff shall we?<\/p>\n

PLEASE COME AND PLAY MY GAMES!<\/strong><\/span> I’ve worked for ages in this little bubble where I *think* democracy 3 is fun and looks good and is playable and intuitive and makes sense, but like all developers I really have *no idea at all* what gamers who haven’t played democracy 1 or 2 will think of it. It is VERY valuable for me to know peoples opinions. I’ll give you nice glossy flyers explaining the theme of the game, and badges!<\/span><\/strong> and mitu has stickers as well as two yes TWO different types of badge for redshirt. How are you not already buying a ticket at this news???<\/p>\n

\n\"badges\"\n<\/p>\n

Seriously, it is very helpful to hear peoples thoughts on the game, and even more helpful to actually stand discretely and watch people try it. You don’t *have* to talk to us, just plonk yourself in front of a monitor and start clicking things, that’s the whole idea. And this is true of every developer at the show. They desperately want you to come and try out their games. Even if you just click a few things, read a bit of text, and decide it’s not for you and wander off, that’s still preferable to no interaction at all. And also…do not feel bad if you *do* really like the game and sit there playing it for twenty minutes. If a queue forms, I’ll wave a bat-leth at you, but I doubt a deep turn-based strategy game will be the star attraction among the explosions and car chases at a games show :D<\/p>\n

Anyway, in all seriousness, come say hello<\/strong>, try the games, and tell us what you think. Don’t feel bad if you have criticisms or complaints about them. All feedback is good. I’m told I am ‘less scary’ in real life than online by people who meet me. I have *NEVER* done a games show in my entire career, so this is a big scary ‘argh will it be worth it’ moment for me<\/span><\/strong> (these booths are EXPENSIVE<\/strong><\/span>), and I want to squeeze it to get as much helpful feedback as possible.<\/p>\n

And if you write a blog, or do lets plays, or whatever, please introduce yourself. We are very happy to talk about the game, be interviewed and so on right there at the show. I might even give you one of my legendary business cards.<\/p>\n

See you there.<\/p>\n
