WHAT IS COLLIDERS?
COLLIDERS is an our monthly meet-up for playful makers, welcoming any creative, regardless of the engine they are working in. At Colliders we brainstorm, present our progress, give feedback, enjoy creations and, of course, we play!
Colliders purpose is to develop a local network for the indie / arthouse / serious game industry in the east of the Netherlands. With Colliders, we want to support each other and create more opportunities for collaborations and exchange. The meet ups are open to makers, enthusiasts, producers, artists, curators, and all people interested in game making.
COLLIDERS IN MARCH
In March the theme for the game selection is Ephemeral. We are going to reflect on games and playful projects that were meant to be temporary, that disappeared while being played, or where never meant to be grasped...
We will have some ready to be played games or traces of them. Here is the selection:
Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games
GlitchHiker by Vlambeer
Before Your Eyes by GoodbyeWorld Games
HyperEcho by Firepit
