Mode 7 At Austin GDC

It’s just been confirmed that I’ll be travelling to Austin, Texas to be part of a panel discussion on indie game marketing at the Game Developers Conference. This is obviously a huge deal for us, as this is one of the top industry conferences in the world. I hope I’ll be able to talk a little bit about some of the realities that indie developers face when they attempt to get their game noticed by people. I’ll certainly be taking the line, as I have before, that there are probably limits to what indies can accomplish on their own, and the key factor is retaining creative control while collaborating with companies who have skills you can’t afford.

Maybe people will be surprised to hear this at an event whcih is going to be getting excited about the “DIY attitude of the indie scene etc. etc.”, but hopefully people there for that sort of content will appreciate my ideas on paying attention to the community which builds up around a game: something to which mainstream devs should be taking a more “indie” approach.
