X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Vector Narrative Games Festival is a premi
 er one day game development conference presented by <em>RunJumpDev</em>\, 
 in partnership with the Lexington Public Library.&nbsp\;Focused on craftin
 g interactive narratives\, the festival brings together writers\, designer
 s\, and game developers to explore how we tell stories through interactive
  media.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><br />Designed for genuine\, one-on-one connectio
 ns\, we've traded the chaotic expo floor for intimate\, high-value network
 ing. Meet your next collaborator\, mentor\, or peer in a relaxed\, focused
  environment. You'll spend less time pitching and more time building real 
 relationships with peers and industry leaders.</p>\n<p><br />This year&rsq
 uo\;s event will have keynote speaker\, Jake Elliott. Jake is co-founder o
 f indie game studio Cardboard Computer\, and writer of the game Kentucky R

 Paul University\, Northwestern University\, School of the Art Institute of
  Chicago\, and IULM University in Milan. He lives in Elizabethtown\, KY.</
