#GIGF25 hosted V's Downpour workshop called "Let's Make A Game Together! No Code? No Problem!" Using only their phones, folks were able to make games that used crafts and dialogue trees. You can check out the wonderful creations in V's blog!

We've come a long way since last year! #GIGF25 is now:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 triple the folks
🎤 double the talks/performances
🎮 and packed with 75% more games

These are pics from last year. In three days we're going to outdo our wildest expectations. It feels surreal.

Here's to #indiegames.
