The guest speaker for the next Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) meeting, which takes place on 3rd December, is Tony Bartram of AMCOG Games.
Tony released his latest game, Hugh Bowman PI, at the London Show just over a month ago, with its more general release (with some updates) just a few days ago, and that will be the first part of what he will be talking about to WROCC. His talk will be more than just a look at the game itself, however, and will also include the creative process, covering how he came up with the ideas for the game, and his approach to composing the music for it.
There are two upcoming titles scheduled for release during 2026, at least one (and possibly both) of which he intends to showcase at RISC OS North, which is planned for late March. These are:
- Pixel Esper, designed by Sophia Bartram.
- Yellow Valley Kingdom, a playable RPG-type game, inspired by the BBC Welcome Tape game ‘Yellow River Kingdom‘.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 3rd December, with a kick off time of 7:45pm – and like all WROCC meetings now, it will be held online using the Zoom video conferencing system, allowing you to join from the comfort of your own home.
The only requirements for attendance are a system on which Zoom can be run, and the meeting credentials. These remain the same as previous meetings, so if you’ve attended any recent monthly WROCC meetings you should have them, but if not they can be obtained by contacting the group.
Although the meeting is open to any RISC OS user, regardless of WROCC membership status, it’s well worth supporting the group by joining; the cost is just £10 each year, and you get the group’s self-titled monthly newsletter sent to your inbox as a PDF file, along with access to their online discussion forum.
You can also find recordings of previous meetings on YouTube, linked from the Meetings page on their website.
