Ouch but.... Not false. We need people to drop the excel sheets and get in early, get in and take risk instead of just being fucking middlemen. If you're taking revenue % - fucking earn it.
Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%
Feels like it was yesterday.

This project helped me to overcome tough period during Covid, and I am beyond happy you are still using it.

Thank you.
🎇Exactly 5 years ago, Game Conference Guide was launched.

Since then, it tracked more than 1800 events, hundreds of deadlines and even more showcases.

🙏Huge thanks to everyone who visited and shared the website with their peers.

You are awesome.

How can events be rated equally for everyone? Read @spacejunker.bsky.social’s article to learn more about this topic, which also draws on notions our CEO @icotom.icopartners.com had put together about events.

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment?

If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com.

Please spread the word
Well, see you at the Festival of Gaming, I guess.
GDC has rebranded to Festival of Gaming 🤔
I wish, but you enjoy!
Motion Twin did a great GDC talk, where they are talking about the black magic behind it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfSp...

Dead Cells is tough, but fair and each run you can feel the power. It is very rare to find in games, Resogun has the same feeling.
Dead Cells: What the F*n!?

Dead Cells has a very fluid and sticky gameplay. The movement is slick, fast & feels like it can read your thoughts.
See you there, man! Cant wait.
playing with fire! do it!

I've been waiting three years to post this.

Mindset is a new type of puzzle, a mix of observation and logic. Think Sudoku, Picross, Connections and... none of those. It's new.

The first videogame version is called Mindset Go!. It's out soon on iOS and Android. I really hope you like it.
