Remembering Sydney - Happy People.
It’s been fun no doubt, I thought it was time to take these other pictures of the event out of my digital closet…and why do I kept them there for so long? no one can tell.
Thanks again to all the awesome people that visited us, thanks Lavie Sak for these great shots, to Bryan Ma that made this Australian edition possible, to Luca Francesco Rossi for the great poster, to Serial Space, and all those who helped (as I will, as with these pictures, inevitably forget some of them…I know, I’m an asshole).
Last but not least…Bryan’s interview:
So long folks!

SPATIAL NARRATIVE is a collection of works that experiment with exploration. They let us probe game worlds with minimalist or avant garde landscapes, engage in experimental storytelling in a virtual space, and negotiate physical and social play in the ‘real world’.Join us to experience latest of what forward-thinking artists and game designers around the world are creating in their attempts to redefine what it means to be a video game.Bientôt l’été – Tale of TalesDear Esther – TheChineseRoomJ.S.

The events are free and open to everyone: they serve as a meeting point for the community of designers and authors, introduce people into independent game development and culture, and help those that want to approach game development as an artistic endeavor.
LUNARCADE was created in same spirit of other international independent game events such as
