The Bristol pervasive games festival Igfest have just announced their 2009 programme.
They've got some great stuff lined up - this year's Friday-night Journey game is La Noche de los Muertos, with players being hunted down by cloaked figures and a mariachi band, there's a whole collective noun of moose to hunt, and Sunday closes with a return of the high-octane spectator sport of Korean Lazer Ball.
Are any Ludocity users planning to attend? I'll be there from Friday, and the Sandpit crew are turning up to run games on Sunday.
And yes, Igfest was great. They did a fine and thorough job overhauling Journey to make La Noche - losing the infection mechanic took some of the edge off of the paranoia, but it gave them a lot of space to ramp up the theatrics and safe-zone challenges, and to make sure that everyone had a good time out there - it felt like a really well-rounded experience for the team of hardcore zombie-hunters and cautious newbies I ended up with. And the routemaster/graveyard finale was pretty amazing.
