It has been a full year of solid development work, so last night’s BIMA in the Media & Entertainment category couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Media & Entertainment category was a tough one, including massive and very successful games like AKQA’s 221B.sh. Big ups to our friends at Made in Me that created such wonderful content - now you can get the whole lot as a wonderfully packaged DVD-Rom !

Visit The Land of Me

If you have been in the industry for less than 5 years, don’t miss Digital Archaeology, hosting a dozen of the most influential sites of the last 15 years and curated by Jim Boulton. Amongst them, the original Antirom website - an paradigm shift for anyone getting into interactive media in the mid-nineties, the groundbreaking early work of Daniel Brown, the original K10K portal and the first online portfolio of less rain, called Walter the Fish.

If you use Safari, you might still be able to view Walter the Fish in the form it existed in 1999, containing all of our experimental / non commercial work between 1998 - 1999. It has been an amazing 12 years since then; respect to Gordon Davies, our tutor in Middlessex University’s Design of Interactive Media MA course - where it all started for some of us.

Here is a list of the Less Rain collective as it was at the time the site was frozen in history:
