This year’s IndieGamesCon took place last weekend in Eugene, Oregon, where GarageGames is also based. The event was intended as a fun, informal gathering, where independent game developers could share information and experience while attending sessions on game art, technology, tools and business.
The event had a central “ShowOFF center” open to developers to play test and showcase current prototypes, demos and newly released games, and Gamasutra will have a feature wrapping up the entirity IndieGamesCon debuting on the site tomorrow.
