The team’s latest showing was once again wrangled through our Co-I Stella Wisdom who graciusly allowed us a portion of time for her discussion of how her role enables her to encourage the use of videogames in exploring cultural themes. The event was an intimate gathering, organised by Alice Roberts, and held at our ‘home away from home’.

Unfortunately, train timetables and a hotel mix-up meant we missed the morning session which was an analogue gamejam – extremely disaapointing, as this is exactly James’ forte. But we got to sample some of the designs over lunch (we suspect this wasn’t many participants’ first rodeo!)

Although the crowd was small, interest in Litcraft was extremely high, and we made a number of contacts who were interested in the dataset and schema from the project proper – and it hasn’t even been shown at a DH-dedicated event yet!

Here’s hoping for an even bigger and better still event next year!
