ExPlay festival details 2012 plans

Organisers of the ExPlay festival have revealed the first details ahead of this year's event, which takes place in Bath. Edge is the exclusive media partner for the festival's second year following its move from Plymouth.
Keynotes will be delivered by Eidos life president Ian Livingstone and Dr Richard Wilson, CEO of TIGA, the UK trade association which will also host the inagural TIGA Games Industry Awards at the festival. The programme, to be revealed in the months to come, will feature industry talks, games, parties and competitions.
Also planned is ExPlay Boot Camp, a bespoke training programme that promises to help start-ups and small studios go from concept to commercially viable game in just six months.
Korash Sanjideh, festival director, said: "We are proud to be organising ExPlay for the second year running, this time in the historically playful city of Bath. The festival will once again help raise the profile of the indie game industry across the UK, shining a light on indie development in the south west."
ExPlay runs from October 31 to November 2 at the Roman Baths and Assembly Rooms in Bath. For more, see the ExPlay website.
