As a gamer with an unusual affinity for the independent developer, I'm always glad to report on new offerings from the indie community -- and opportunities for the same. The good folks over at GameSetWatch have the details on a special showcase being held by the Independent Games Festival at the upcoming Austin Game Developers Conference, coming up in mid-September. While it will not be another worldwide competition, like the one hosted at GDC in San Francisco each year, this Austin-specific event will show off games and projects from indie developers native to the Southwest. If you're a developer from the desert corner of the nation, you have until June 15th to try for a chance to have your game put on display on the show floor.
To enter your game, IGF kindly requests the following:
- Name/location of developer & URL of official webpage/full contact details.
- What's the game and what's its platform? Brief description, please.
- Can you provide us with links to screenshots, movies, or a playable version of your title?
- A few words about what makes you 'indie', in whatever abstracted form that phrase is valid nowadays.
Entries are due to chairman@igf.com by June 15th. You, too, could be the next Fez, or Audiosurf, or Crayon Physics. Good luck!
