Ever wonder how games looked, in a time with no established design? Janky cameras, strange design choices, ahhhh..... the birthplace of innovation.
Backloggers is a book-club style event where attendees play a (ps2 and older) game, and we meet to discuss design topics we find interesting. the main purpose is to get those creative muscles inspired and going, as to inspire creative solutions in your own games!
Our second event will be on Ratatouille, the hit 2007 movie-tie-in for the ps2. seats are limited, so get them while you still can!
