GDC 2016

We’re incredibly excited to announce that we will be part of the GDC Scholarship program for 2016! More details, including application deadlines, how/where to apply and what you should expect at GDC will be coming after we get back and recover from #IndieCade15.

We’ll have 20+ All Access Passes to GDC 2016. Unfortunately we cannot assist with travel costs at this time. We’re working on ideas of how to help with that, possibly an IndieGoGo, or GoFundMe again.

We’re hoping to work with companies like @Intel or maybe @Microsoft or@EA to help us with travel grants so cost is not a barrier.

So watch ineeddivgms.info in the next week or so for full details on how you can apply for an All Access Pass to GDC!
