Freeplay, Australia’s only independent games festival, has been dated for August 14 and 15. It will be held at the State Library of Victoria and promises to demonstrate that “Play is Everywhere”.
“This year we’ll look at how gaming has changed over the past few years, its place in the wider community, the opportunities for personal expression, the practicalities of making games, and on the excitement of creating new things,” says Freeplay Director Eve Penford-Dennis.
Freeplay attendees will engage in a program of lectures, panel discussions, workshops, an independent games expo and an educational showcase.

And David, Eve’s name is.. well, Eve not Eva :)
