Colin MacDonald, head of All 4 Games, will also appear during the Interface conference, giving a talk entitled ‘Common traits of successful games from a Channel 4 perspective’, in which he will reveal more about what the new publisher is looking for.
I’m looking forward to explaining how All 4 Games can help indies promote their games to the Channel 4 audience,” said MacDonald.
Brought to you by MCV and Develop, Interface will take place on Thursday November 12th at St Mary’s Church, near Baker Street and Marylebone Tube/Train stations.
