Hey fellow game devs!
I’m considering attending some game cons in 2026 or maybe even submitting my game for display eventually.
What shows are good for retro developers like myself?
FYI I’m east coast USA. Please share some recommendations.

My first (mini) boss!
It's simple but actually quite fun to battle. I learned a lot from programming all the different aspects. I posted a 3-part dev diary about it on my Patreon if you are curious.

My original Genesis collection:

Still have my original VA2 but I messed up the sound chip by plugging the headphone jack into a keyboard amp that wasn't properly grounded. Fried the sound chip...

Silent Mobius is astonishingly beautiful! Everyone knows Akira but I never see anyone talking about this movie. The colors, the background design… all obviously inspired by the art of Syd Mead… and absolutely breathtaking.
