I’ve traditionally mentioned that EGX’s curated indie showcase, The Leftfield Collection, is my favorite a part of the present. I most likely shouldn’t say that now that we ourselves have been doing extra on the present. Leftfield is certainly one of my favorite components of EGX? Diplomatic, Alice. Nice. Our company overlords in the present day revealed the Leftfield lineup for this 12 months’s EGX in October and hey, it’s good once more. Even I don’t recognise a good few, in order that’s a bonus for me.
Yer list is:
- Across The Grooves
- Bird Of Passage
- Closed Hands
- Cubeism
- Dollhouse
- Electric Zine Maker
- Eloquence
- Epilogue Simulator
- Ex-Zodiac
- Gladiabots
- Hours Played
- Hundred Days
- Kickflip
- Monad
- Nuts
- Peep Pop City
- Plaything
- Reky
- SkateBIRD
- Stones of Solace
- The Things We Lost In The Flood
- Welcome To Elk
I do know a few of these! The Things We Lost In The Flood is a lovely/mysterious/morose adventure by means of a flooded world. Stones Of Solace is a great little ritual. Hours Played is a enjoyable concept, a clock create by snaps of clocks in dozens of games. And I’m fascinated to see what would possibly get made throughout 4 days with Nathalie Lawhead’s Electric Zine Maker, which does precisely what it says on the tin – and with model.
The largest shock for me on that record is Bird Of Passage, which seems to be like some form of narrative puzzle game about taxi rides? Dunno! I might obtain it proper now however would possibly wait.
Another attention-grabbing lineup from Leftfield curator David Hayward, there.
EGX 2019 runs October 17-20th at ExCeL London out within the Docklands. Tickets are already on sale.
Because I loudly protest any try to even recommend I ought to trek right down to England for something much less vital than an expensive pal’s marriage or funeral, nobody tells me something and I don’t know what RPS may be doing at EGX this 12 months. I completely perceive why individuals have stopped inviting me to any firm factor. Yes, we get it Alice, you reside in Scotland, you might have talked about it a couple of times earlier than.
Disclosure: EGX is run by Gamer Network, who we’re a part of. Or are company siblings with? Or? Business issues.
