Insomnia GameCraft – Theme

Indies

Hi

Posting live from Telford, at Insomnia GameCraft. The theme for today is “Last assignment” and we are in full swing here.
For some background info, Insomnia is a gaming conference, it’s basically a huge LAN party with tournaments, an exhibition hall including a generous section for indies such as Snozbot, Honourboud, Dream, and many more, check here. There is also some other more established games on display such as XCOM enemy within, XBOne with Forza and Need for speed and many hardware providers.



Will keep you posted…
