What is Made in the UK Week?
If you’ve ever been to bit-tech before today then you’ll probably have noticed that something’s changed with the site and that it looks a bit different from usual. If not, I’ll spell it out for you: we don’t normally have a picture of Batman on the front page, no matter how many times I beg for it.
bit-tech's new look is going to run all this week and is part of a short season we're running to celebrate and explore the UK games industry, from the time of the BBC Micro to modern day. We're going to put up an article on the topic everyday this week. To find out what the actual articles are you’ll have to check back each day, but we’ve got some rather exciting stuff lined up, so stay tuned!
This is the first time we've done anything like this on the site and, as with everything on bit-tech, we'd love to know what you think about it, so drop your thoughts in the comments below. In the meantime, I’ll be coming back to this blogpost daily and updating it with a link to that day’s article, just in case you miss anything.
