An Evening At The Hillfarrance Future Play Mixer

 

We just wrapped up our time at the NZ Game Developer's Conference, and it was a blast! We also hosted our very first "Future Play Mixer", an event to kick off NZGDC and celebrate the industry we love so much. Below, you'll get a feel of how it all went!

Synopsis

 

The Future Play Mixer (FPM) is a yearly event that we host to celebrate the media, content & video gaming industry here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Last week, we hosted our inaugural FPM in partnership with the NZ Game Developers Conference, where we hosted all of the speakers and sponsors for an evening of wonder, exclusive content & a fireside chat with legendary game designer Charles Cecil MBE.

We also had Rob dressed as a Stormtrooper...

  1. Floating Rock Studio

  2. IGC

  3. Lane Neave

  4. AWS For Games
