We're glad to confirm that Roland Pantoła will be our special guest at the party. He's an author of known games for the 8-bit Atari and C64 such as A.D.2044 (for Atari), Klątwa/The Curse or Władcy Ciemności/The Lords of Darkness, written in Forth.

After the 8-bit times he carried on with his career in gamedev making games for PC, for example A.D.2044 (wasn't it the first Polish game released on a CD?), Reah and Schizm series (first Polish game released on a DVD; currently the third part is in works).

His talk will take place on Saturday evening. Feel free to ask question, get an autograph and make sure you don't miss him
