Lexington Public Library – Central
140 E. Main St, Lexington, KY 40507
Vector Narrative Games Festival is a one day game development conference presented by RunJumpDev, in partnership with the Lexington Public Library. The focus of this event is on the narrative aspects of game developement, as well as a chance to network with leaders and peers in the field of game design and development.
Vector events feature networking, talks from industry leaders, workshops and round table discussions.
Network
Previous years events proved to be a successful networking moment for OHINKY (Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky) developers, and this years event promises to be much the same. There is no expo hall floor. This means that you will have a chance to engage with developers one on one, rather than spending energy on self-promotion to a public audience.
