If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say this was their finest hour.

We stand for Queen, Country and Video Games, BRB, UK, Worst teeth. Better accents. Hello and welcome to episode 301.5 of the Big Red Barrel UK

podcast. That is right. We are doing another half episode. I am Goldman. Hi. And with me is Mr. Dinnamufic, James Hibs. Hello, if this is only half an episode, can we afford to half ass it? Is that how this works? Yeah, pretty much. Tim, in the words of some boy band from the 2000s period, this one's all about you. Because we're talking about Develop Brighton. Yes. A show that you went to on your own.

Now, it was a bit of a shame I didn't get to go for all three days. It's a three-day event. From what I understood, the Expo Floor type thing that I got to sort of mill around on is only open on two of the days, I think, not on the Tuesday. Okay. As we all know on a Tuesday, I tend to run an event called Tabletop Tuesday.

I've heard of it.

Weird. of the days, I think, not on the Tuesday. Okay. As we all know, on a Tuesday, I tend to run an event called Tabletop Tuesday. I've heard of it. Which prevented me from going up on the Tuesday, but I popped up early on the Wednesday morning, not quite early enough in time for the opening keynote that day. And I missed, yeah, I missed that keynote from Jade Raymond, which would have been really nice to see.

I missed the keynote.

This is all fascinating stuff, Tim.

But how about you describe what is developed?

I know.

I'm getting there.

Well, develop, for anyone that doesn't know, is much more of a kind of inner industry-focused event, basically.

As opposed to a lot of the other events which we cover.

I mean, RESD is a bit of a halfway house, possibly, more so with RESD and EGX and the other shows that we cover throughout the year.

They tend to be public shows that are open to members of the public and to people in sort of our position and like proper journalists and

stuff to come along and exhibit games and you know facing the public type of thing this is a bit

more literally developers going along and learning more skills and networking and and it's a bit

more of a in-industry thing.

One of the reasons I never covered it before, but started covering developed VR because I was

particularly interested in the VR and that was a nice little show that was, you know,

good and interesting to go to. So with that in mind, I thought, let's go cover the main

event type thing. Okay. And you've clearly gone there for the coding aspect of things. Yes, you know, I'm heavily into, no, anyone that doesn't know, I am not technically minded at all. I did go to a couple of talk, well, I did go to one talk in particular that I was well aware was going to be well over my head before I went in. I just kind of ducked in just to kind of see what was of interest.
