Filling the hole GDC left
Valve heldtheir first Steam Game Festivalin December alongside The Game Awards. It was the highlight of that charade and a good idea to revisit - especially now.
With so many public and industry events cancelled, people are trying to come up with alternatives. The Game Developers Conference isbroadcasting on Twitcha selection of talks that were due to happen at the industry event this week in San Francisco until it was postponed. Microsoft arelivestreaming theirs separatelytoo. It sounds like this latest Steam Game Festival is also focused on substituting for GDC.
Valve say that “the Spring Edition highlights an even larger selection of games from studios who missed out on the chance to demo their games at showcases like Indie Megabooth, Day Of The Devs, and The Mix during this year’s GDC.”
They haven’t confirmed which games will be playable but you can see some of the possibilities inthoseevents’lineups. I really hopeDead Static Drivefrom Day Of The Devs is one that’ll get a demo - I’ve been keen to have a go on thatfor years.
The Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition will start tonight at 10am Pacific (5pm in the UK) then run until 10am PDT on Monday, March 23rd. It will beover here(the page will go up when the event starts).
