also - any TGA future class members do some cool shit recently? i wanna run one of your games on stream this sunday.
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

My free 43-page guide to bridging the gap between digital games and physical spaces has been released.
Great for devs who want to bring indie games to local markets, shops, or spaces, and for organizers and business space owners to better understand indie devs!

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.
Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"
looks like all mention of the future class program (which started in 2020) has been wiped from TGA webpage 🤪 the only archive that proves it existed is through the wayback machine. Here's my cohort (the last one): web.archive.org/web/20241119...

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio
would anyone who works in or adjacent to game testing/QA be willing to answer a couple questions for me? off the record, not to be quoted - just need some background info on automations to know whether a scenario someone described in a talk is common or unusual.

From The Reader’s Digest Folklore, Myths & Legends of Britain. The lanes around Longridge in Lancashire were haunted by the Headless Woman. A malicious, boggart, from behind she looked like an old lady, but she would turn around & pursue travellers carrying her head in a basket.
