It’s Game On: Guildford.Games Festival is Back – Bigger, Bolder, and Now with Extra B2B Power-Ups!
The Guildford.Games Festival is respawning on February 14th, 2025, at G Live, and we’re levelling up in a BIG way. Think of it as a Valentine’s date with your favourite devs, only instead of roses, you’re getting exclusive talks, demos, and networking chances with Guildford’s gaming elite. Tickets? They’re completely free, but will be limited – so head over to Eventbrite now!
First Speaker Announce
G.G Fest’s 2025 Line-Up is Already Looking Stacked!
We’ve got some heavy-hitters signed up for the g.g fest - and more to come - all ready to spill their game dev secrets!
First up, the founders of Glowmade (you know, the folks behind hugely anticipated King of Meat, no big deal) will be joining us for an epic panel. Join Adam, Mike and Jonny as we weave our way through their careers to the present day, right up to their big King of Meat announce on the big stage at Gamescom's Opening Night Live this summer, as well as discussion about UGC done right!
Next, brace yourselves for a trip into the eerie world of Supermassive Games. The maestros of horror are diving into the making of Directive 8020, the latest mind-bending addition to The Dark Pictures Anthology. If you’re a fan of Until Dawn or The Quarry, this one’s for you. Expect moral dilemmas, space-bound tension, and a whole lot of spookiness – minus the jump scares, we promise.
Oh, and Two Point Studios will be joining us too! The kings of management sims (they’ve been at it since the 90s, after all!) are ready to share how they’ve been keeping us all hooked on games like Two Point Hospital, Two Point Campus and now, Two Point Museum. If you're lucky, we may get some stories from their rollercoaster careers too... (see what we did there? 😏)
With a line up like that, you'd be mistaken for thinking we won't have much more to tell you about... but you'll have to trust us - there's MUCH more to come! Keep an eye on our social channels and sign up for our email so you don't miss our incoming, very exciting announcements!
