Shark Infested Custard A very unique games development studio!

The amazing Daniel Colaianni from DoubleUpGaming.com has helped set up the first ever local indie games dev event!

It will be held at the new business building at the University of Essex on the 13th of October at 6:30pm and is free to attend. There will be a tlak from Andy Touch from Unity and free pizza and beer will be available provided by the awesome Papa Johns Colchester and the Pitfield brewery.

You can find out all the details here IDM Colchester and book your tickets or via event bright.

The hub also had the lovely Emma in from BDO, talking to the teams about all the many different aspects of accounting and business, from tax to VAT and everything in between!

Finally to fill a very busy day, Ben from Bright Sparks dropped by to talk all things animation, there’ll be more on this in the coming months.

This week the hub looked into the worlds of mobile and web MMOs as well as Virtual Reality with the Oculus Rift thanks to Paul Hutson of Phutty Studios.

After a few techincal fun and games (the hub is always open to offers of hardware!) Paul was kind enough to take us through the history of his games including Outer Empires and Kingdom Game and sharing his vast amount of experience, insight and info on the industry.

Oculus was great fun, the roller coaster demo had many people swaying and Roculus had heads bopping away and not one person laughed…ok well maybe a couple or more!
