Hello GameBoomers, I wanted to let you know about another possible event for adventure game fans & developers - this time in London. We're running a fundraiser to make it happen this year, so that tickets aren't necessary and people can enter the event for free.

Here's the main post about it, with links to the appropriate websites to find out more. Thank you for your support, and if things go well - perhaps see you there!

AdventureX - for adventure game fans, game designers & those just curious!



Hi folks, I'd like to give you a heads up about a possible AdventureX event this year. With your help we can make it happen! No tickets this year, instead a funding campaign on good old IndieGoGo. With the goal met, we can hire a central London location and allow visitors to enter for free.

Another line up of well known and lesser known developers will be along to give talks, there'll be a bunch of new games to see and plenty more to do. Things are not finalized, and I'd welcome anyone with an interesting idea to get in touch.

If you can spare a few dollars to make it happen in 2012, you'll help strengthen it for the future - so whether you may be able to turn up this year or not, you can certainly help others enjoy the event this year.

There is disabled access and we'll have a webcast running this year, on-site wifi and the famous Peticote Lane market is just outside the front door - so come along!

The Adventure Gamers write up of the first event last year:

Is that Boris in the picture? Any chance he'll attend?

Thanks, that's a novel idea! So I've sent an invite to him at his office

I'll let you know in about 30 days if the fundraiser has been successful and if the event will go ahead or not.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It was certainly a fun idea, but it didn't work out this time Becky, sorry!

Thanks for trying! I thought it might appeal to his sense of humor.

I just wanted to write a quick one to say the goal was reached, the event will go ahead as planned!

There's still a week to pledge if you still want in on any of the perks, or run a business & want to sponsor the event.

Other than that, thanks & see you there! (maybe)

Congrats!

Good news!

I just discovered this, and thought I'd let you know about it:
