IDEAG 2009: Meeting for Game Designers

The fifth edition of IDEAG, the meeting of Italian (but not only) game designers, will be held on 17th and 18th January 2009. To celebrate its fifth year, from now on IDEAG will release its own postcard to the invitees and a poster illustrated by professionals of the sector: the launch belongs to Elena Prette and Marianna Fulvi from Kaleidos Studio .

Besides, the minisite with all the info about the event is now online.

Looking back, we see with satisfaction that we’ve reached some good results, with 25 published games. And in the next year there will also be, in the beautiful location that is the Centro Culturale del Mulino (Cultural Centre of the Mill), dozens of renown designers, promising ones and amateurs meeting all together to debate (and play) their own projects. Publishers will try the new games. We’ll eat all together, quickly since the prototypes do not wait. In the meantime, the game library of GiocaTorino will be at disposal. We’ll also try to raise some funds for the association Friends of Joachim Gomez, born in Piossasco and operating in Brazil.

All the designers, publishers and players are invited to take part contributing to the improving of the prototypes, trying for the first time a game that sooner or later could be published.

Each year IDEAG hosts one or more prestigious personalities. Last year there was Sebastien Pauchon, designer of Yspahan, Metropolys and others. One of the special guests of the next edition will be Emanuele Ornella (Fantasy Pub, OltreMare, il Principe, Hermagor, Byzanz).

The meeting therefore is in Piossasco (near Turin), Italy, on 17th and 18th January 2009.
