X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Vector Narrative Games Festival is a FREE 
 premier one day game development conference presented by <em>RunJumpDev</e
 m>\, in partnership with the Lexington Public Library.&nbsp\;Focused on cr
 afting interactive narratives\, the festival brings together writers\, des
 igners\, and game developers to explore how we tell stories through intera
 ctive media.</p>\n<p><br />Designed for genuine\, one-on-one connections\,
  we've traded the chaotic expo floor for intimate\, high-value networking.
  Meet your next collaborator\, mentor\, or peer in a relaxed\, focused env
 ironment. You'll spend less time pitching and more time building real rela
 tionships with peers and industry leaders.</p>\n<p><br />This year&rsquo\;
 s event will have keynote speaker\, Jake Elliott. Jake is co-founder of in
 die game studio Cardboard Computer\, and writer of the game Kentucky Route
  Zero. He has taught courses in new media art &amp\; game design at DePaul
  University\, Northwestern University\, School of the Art Institute of Chi
 cago\, and IULM University in Milan. He lives in Elizabethtown\, KY.</p>\n
