Return of the Sausage
I am delighted to announce that I will be showing my silly game about sausages and bluffing as part of the second Car Boot Casino at the V&A Late on the 27th of March.
I do still have on my todo list some work on trying to get this into a state people can play at home. Maybe even commercially? I think the game has something going for it, and I'd like to take it further. Watch this space.
But also! Let me plug the Late some more. It's been curated by Susie Buchan, who you might remember from "helping me actually ship Downpour" (and who you won't know from "we recently submitted a funding app to do an exciting thing together, but I can't talk about it at this stage"). And, guess what, she's filled it full of stuff I'm into!
- there's an algorave (I was at AlgoRhythms watching most of these people play on Wednesday, it's gonna be good, if I wasn't showing sausages I would have tried to wangle a visuals slot)
- there's a larp from Jana Romanova - I interviewed her about her work at AMAZE last year, I really wanna play a larp of hers. Very happy Susie managed to find something that fits within the constraints of a big event with lots of casual visitors (hard to do with larp)
- there's Robot Karaoke, an event I have looked longingly at online over the years (it's normally in America)
- there's a zine workshop by Fredde Lanka - a crafty collagey make-a-videogame workshop! that's the thing I do! And Fredde is great, I wanna see how the workshop is run and nick ideas for my own.
- there's all the other people showing games at the Car Boot Casino. I just saw a little online playtest of David's game, it's an exciting evolution of his Tiny Islands concept! Ada has a thing she's got a weird costume for! Holly has something clever but also meta which I am excited for (you can get Bad Points, if that gives you a flavour). Also let me just add a shoutout to Marie Foulston for putting the whole thing together and her killer instinct for photoshopping visors and playing cards onto paintings of dogs.
- also a game I was a big fan of (Thank Goodness You’re Here!) and one by a studio who has made a bunch of games I've liked (Freelives)
- oh also a cabaret night I like is also there (SlayStation)
Anyway! What a night! Full of stuff I love! And I will see very little of it, because I will be showing people my sausages all night. So it goes!
