In case you're wondering why I harp on people submitting enough keys to IGF every year, I've already seen one entry today that submitted with one(1) single steam key. Better hope the one judge who takes it likes your game

This is what I cycle back to. Nerds love talking bout useful tech. I am so absolutely up for boring any journo with an in depth explanation of how anything in my games was done. It’s fucking cool making games and almost as fun talking about making them.
I’m not buying that anyone is proud of this

You really couldn't have asked for a more good faith way of approaching the subject and yet... extremely disappointing! I experienced this at the 1666 Amsterdam demo. If the tech is so great at what it does, why are you so annoyed when we ask you what it is actually doing?

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

casual note that IGF submissions close in a week and a half so if you were thinking of getting a game in this year, time's running short!
(It's fine if your build isn't bug-free right now, you can patch it over the course of the competition - esp if you submit via a steam key)

heyyyyy IGF submissions for this year are open! If you're making a cool indie game I would love it if you would submit it!
If you're thinking about it but not sure, I outline some reasons why you might (or might not) in detail here auratriolo.com/blog/2024/09...

also if i could beam one bit of advice into the heads of bigger submittees this year it might be this. we've been seeing an increase in nextfest demo submissions over the last few years - if your game is coming out in the next 6 months it's usually way better to submit a dev build than a short demo

Game publishers want the staffing of film and TV without the unions that make gig-to-gig work a viable living and a sustainable business.
SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed
The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen
I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit:

‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
