redspotgames @ Games Convention 2008 summary
via http://www.redspotgames.com/
The Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig is over. Months of pre arragements and an intense week of buildup, organization, business talks, negotiations and of course deconstruction, were completely worth it. Of course there were also a couple of business parties we mustn’t miss.
Here’s the roundup of everything, that happened at our booth in hall 2, booth H22.
Games
“Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles”: People were able to play the 95 % finished exhibition version on two Dreamcast store displays with VMU save option in the middle of our booth. For the first time people could have a first look at the VMU character, which is new for the Dreamcast release. In the left corner of our booth we had the preview build of the game, which was already available on the “Retro Magazin” issue #6. The issue #9, which containted a Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles review was on display as well.
“Last Hope for Dreamcast”: A playable Last Hope, a couch for two persons as well as a bowl of sweets could be found in the right corner.
There's also a video of Les Trucs' gig at Youtube. Les Trucs were one of two groups that performed on invitation by redspotgames:
Bands
Les Trucs are from Frankfurt am Main and combine electro with hardcore, without actually being put in musical genres. Many people call it “Nintendocore” or “Post Hardcore”, when you ask them to describe the band. But at least it’s a fact, that Les Trucs have the same D.I.Y. spirit in their hearts, like we from redspotgames do and they either thrilled the audience or unsettled them. A combination of both is very likely, as well. Official website: http://www.myspace.com/lestruc
Gtuk from Berlin is actually a “one man show”. He sees himself as an artist, who’s producing hektik Grindcore made out of 8-bit sounds and a children’s cassetterecorder. A self destructive live performance and interaction with the audience that left mostly irritated viewers behind. After his first performance on Friday he even had to give a lot of autographs. And on Saturday more and more people came to his performances. Official website: http://www.myspace.com/gtuk
