Last year was my first GDC and I'm so grateful to GDoC for making it possible. Had such a blast meeting our scholars in person!
We provide GDC 2026 Festival Passes, travel arrangements, & organize on-site activities, like our annual GDoC Meetup.

"Having this safe space with this awesome group of people was super validating, the sense of commonality did wonders for my confidence going into the conference this year."

Goodnight Universe is very charming, like a really good Dreamworks/Sony animated film. There are parts where they make you close your eyes IRL and experience the scenes through only sound, and it really feels like you're there. It's the first time the word "immersive" actually feels warranted.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.
