NESTA to announce game industry support

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited down to a workshop at NESTA, a UK science and arts innovation support agency. Along with a small number of other developers and representatives from the likes of TIGA and BERR, we discussed how NESTA could potentially help the UK game industry. Today I’m off to London to attend the launch event at which NESTA will announce their intended support.

Obviously I’m looking forward to hearing the outcome, although I’m not so sure about the journey itself.

Taking a trip down to London on the motorway is not an enjoyable experience so I tend to travel by train where possible. Unfortunately, the UK’s frequent transport network problems lead to the the following nightmare picture on a recent excursion.

This was only a week after I’d been refunded for my previous cancelled London-Sheffield train! Bring back British Rail?
