Stunfest 2018 in France, Rennes (May 18th - 20th)

Post by Plasmo »

So here we go for possibly the biggest event in shmup history. Next year there will be Stunfest '18. Are you ready?

Here's the official website: http://stunfest.com/

Order your tickets asap, they are naturally sold out quickly.

Shmup live demonstrations from Japanese superplayers are confirmed already. You can also demonstrate your own game by filling out the form on the site. If you are a dev, you can ask for a stand as well.

So who is coming? Let's make a list and get that hype rolling everybody!

I'm in :)
Feedbacker should also be there, but i'll let him confirm :D

@BNM : the tickets are unlikely to be sold out this year in my opinion. If they get sold out, it will be a few weeks before the event I guess.

By the way, for ppl ariving on Thursday (May 17th), we should organize a warm up dinner/apero ;-)

Moved this to Shmupmeets and left a shadow topic in Shmups Chat for visibility.
Link this to everyone you know who is coming! From what I can tell, there's at least 25, maybe more, who will be attending.
At some point we'll have to figure out the most efficient way to gather contact details so we can arrange the customary pre-event meet-up for beer and foods.

When you get to the "message" click the [x] close in the top-right of the "message' window, to bring up the ticket ordering page.
It's typically awful user experience from someone who thinks web design is still in the Geocities era. :v

Found it, but I can't understand what the various tickets are. Even if it weren't in French (why is it only in French?) it's still very convoluted to figure out. I guess the €150 early bird tickets is what you'd want?

> PASS 3 JOURS - STUNFEST
>> Pass 3 jours - Prévente Tarif Plein

Never in the past four years of attending Stunfest have I ever had to pay 150euros to get in. (Then again, in 2016 I didn't have to pay at all, as I was a guest and a member of staff. :P )

So what do the two more expensive ones ("pass semaine" and "pass addon") got that the "3 jours" doesn't? Also, why are there five different price points for it? None of this makes sense.

"PASS SEMAINE" is the weekly pass - Stunfest actually runs for an entire week, with the first four days dedicated to other things such as dev showcases etc. The only dates you should concern yourself with are the weekend dates of the 18th to 20th, which is when the main event is on, and all the tournaments are running, along with other stuff. "PASS ADDON", from what I can tell, is for the creative event that runs on the 15th to 17th and is for devs, artists etc: https://addon.events/fr-FR/

Tournament entry passes are not available yet, if you're planning on taking part in the fighting game stuff that runs throughout the weekend. (À VENIR !)

You can Google Translate the ticket descriptions if you're not sure.

Thanks for clarifying. I tried using translate, but it didn't help it much. In general there doesn't seem to be any information about the event itself - I guess they are relying on people already being familiar with it.

If you have any doubts, your ticket should cost EUR 55 for the 3 days, which is the "plein tarif" (full price). They add ~1.40 EUR of fees, so that makes it at 56.40 EUR.
If you are a student you are eligible to the reduced price (Tarif reduit).

This website is a quite shame, indeed :cry:

Hello.
I'll be there, but not for playing shmups 'cause I sucks on these games.
But if you want to talk about random sh*t and have a beer with me, I'm on.

This is actually my first post on an Internet forum for 2 years.

Hey people, news from Stunfest's co-director :

A english version of the pre-site is coming with a translation of the ticketing. Its coming soon, they are actually working on it so do not worry. Please be patient <3

I'm still working about organizing shmups demonstration and good stand with (I hope) good surprises for all of you !

Stay tuned :>
