Game Day: Covering IGC by Twitter
by Curt Hopkins · in General Discussion · 10/05/2007 (3:33 pm) · 1 replies
Instead of "live blogging" IndieGamesCon, a small herd of us is going to "live Twitter" it, instead. We'll be using our Twitter accounts to cover the pre-game events and the two days of the convention itself. We're calling this undertaking Game Day.
If, somehow, you're not familiar with IGC, it's the premiere conference for indie game developers and players. GarageGames sponsors it and this year it runs from October 10th through October 11th in our hometown of Eugene, Oregon. At IGC we'll be demoing InstantAction, our upcoming online game environment. Alex Seropian, the creator of Halo, will give the keynote. The day before, October 9th, is Associates Day and we'll be hosting a press demo as well.
If you haven't heard of Twitter, it is a "microblogging" platform that you can post to from a host of places, including your phone, which makes it ideal for Game Day, since I'm sure we'll all be running around quite a bit to get in all the action.
Anyone who wants to follow Game Day can visit the GG Twitter account or they can just grab the Game Day feed.
If you have a Twitter account yourself, follow the statuses on the GG Twitter, as well as those of the other participants, who include @dylanromero, @hendrm, @bengarney and others.
By the way, if you write about Game Day, please tag it gameday07.
IGC is going to be a riot. Game Day is going to document the hullaballoo. (Oh, yes. I said hullaballoo. And I meant it.)
