    Yay for a new venue!

    Would folks be interested in a talk about how to get your game actually played and solicit feedback? I'm thinking stuff like a the checklist of things to get done for a jam or festival submission. I know we've had similar stuff before, but perhaps a refresher is useful? (this is coming after some bitter-sweet interactions with SAGJ games now)

    I would love to know what the bitter-sweet interactions were :P
    Yeah, think that's a nice idea!
    Could we also add GGJ 2020 on the list just so people know about it?
  • Hey!

    I'd like to do a test run of / workshop my Playtopia talk on communication in indie game dev teams. I'd be looking for feedback on how relevant people think what I have to share is to their current situation, or what they'd like to know more about. I'll be trying to keep the talk as practical as possible.

    Thanks!

  • Hey! @Kelm and I would love to show our explory game. Fragments.

    ATM it's a bit of a walking sim... but we are at the stage where we want to start thinking more carefully about narrative and interaction. Would be really nice to get some feedback :)
  • Hey! I would like to claim a focused feedback slot for a prototype I'm working on, "A Dark Machine".
    It's narrative-driven, UI only game.

    Mostly looking for some feedback on the pacing and progression of the game.

  • if we take @francoisvn's and @mmillions_' suggestions as our talks, and "Fragments" and "A Dark Machine" as our focused feedback slots, it all fits perfectly. Any qualms or suggestions?

    @DangerMcJane, I'll add ggj 2020 to the news. Thanks!
  • Hey all, I know it's late notice but I'm going to pull 'A Dark Machine' from the focused feedback slot. I've been working hard on it but I don't feel like it's in a good position to receive feedback at this point. So there's an open slot if anyone wants to take it for their game.
  • Good meetup, thanks folks! Here's that list of festivals I mentioned: http://www.akuparagames.com/festivals if anyone knows of any more accurate/useful lists pls shout :)

  • Thank you @francoisvn and @mmillions_ for really interesting talks. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of Fragments as well.
