A massive thank you to everyone who attended our first ever festival! ?? We hope you had as much fun as we did! We're excited to already be jumping on plans for next year, but stay tuned to see all we had to offer at JGF 2024!

My thanks and gratitude to the Joburg Games Fest 2024 organizers for letting me sow misinformation, existential dread and terror into the community. Hopefully I can continue down my dark path again in the future. 10/10 fest ??

I had the amazing opportunity to give a hypertalk and volunteer at the Joburg Games Fest on Saturday. It was such an awesome event, and I had an absolute blast catching up and meeting so many incredible people in the video game industry. A huge thanks to Kieran Reid, Kirsten Reid, Katie Rose, Ben Myres, and everyone for making this event happen, and well done to all the speakers and workshop hosts! I definitely can't wait for next year's event!
