Animex 2013: Day 1 Animex Game

It always feels amazing I back sat back in OL1 waiting eagerly for the first talk if the day to start… I have to admit it feels a whole lot better not having the weight of a final year project at the back of my mind.

Firstly, the new Animex bags! Although they are always awesome… we really need the overarm strap that has always been on them! Ill be rockin’ the retro 2012 bag tomorrow purely for the strap 😉

Alas, we’re here for GAME TALKS. It was great, varied day featuring scripters turned designers, professional writers working AAA reboots, awesome sand effects and a truly refreshing game audio overview which rivalled the Urban Legends lecture for passion from 4 years ago!

Specifically, I think Matthew Oakley, self entitled ‘poster boy for Teesside uni’ said some great things for recent grads and students, especially the ‘hand in the air’ always being available for opportunities philosophy.

Players lounge was always a great experience and as usual the auctions were fiercely competitive (it’s all to a good cause though!)

Can’t wait for tomorrow!
