Highlights of the year included a wealth of publicity including BBC TV and Radio, New Scientist, Sunday Telegraph, Guardian and on the web – Springwise and Escapist magazines.
We won the Most Awesome Use of Digital Media (thanks BAHBAS and Nixon McInnes), and a GBP50k award from the TSB for our schools project (more in a bit).
The TSB award was granted in conjunction with Brighton Uni, and we have made links with other universities, most notably Sussex (who we are about to start a post-graduate project) and Portsmouth (had been looking forward to some degree student projects but sadly nothing came of it).
Our treasure hunt game was launched and has been around the country and at some outdoor game festivals, particularly igFest in Bristol.
And so to 2009. Some secrets to be announced soon, but look forward to seeing us on the Gadget Show, and in Revolution Magazine. The schools project will be developed – expect to seeing something with MIT Scratch. Plus, we may be going to Where 2.0. We will be running a round table on the theme of children/games/mobiles/health.
And expect to see a Brighton Games event – details soon
And more phones, something in geocaching, and some new developments in team-building.
And more games – expect a big multiplayer event in various locations over an extended time period.
