What's more fun than playing games? Making games! Unpub Pro-Am Jam going ham. This year's rules: cow themed, must include "dominos," can't be a roll-and-move. #Origins2024 @unpub.bsky.social

Our Pro Am Game Jam is coming up at Origins around 7pm. Come ‘design’ a game with a team of attendees. B130.

If anyone brings the Pink Lemonade Kit Kats to the Unpub space at Origins this weekend, I’ll trade you some finger guns and a high five. I haven’t been able to find them yet.

If you're thinking about being a vendor at Indie Games Night Market at PAXU this Fall, go ahead and submit an application! You don't have to have all of the details worked out yet, as long as you know what game you want to sell and have a brief description of it. www.newmillindustries.com/ignm

Indie Games Night Market — New Mill Industrieswww.newmillindustries.com Nothing currently exists in the United States as an in-person marketplace for small batch, unique games in the same vein as Tokyo Game Market. The US game industry landscape doesn’t currently support the innovation and curiosity that arises when designers have a low-risk way to produce their ideas and offer them up to the public.

If you've got a Reserved Block at Origins, check your email for some important updates.

Who wants a spoiler alert? Formal reminder email going out to designers later today. (I should add 🎲✂️ so @americanoonline.com doesn't have to)

I did a thing. Time for lunch now.
