Huge thanks to the rest of the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social team for having me in the space / not giving me too much surprise work in December so I could finish it.
And to peeps like @goferboy.bsky.social and @smashriot.bsky.social for being VERY LOUD about how much they loved the game from hour 1!
Had a 4 day out of body experience watching people have fun with my first ever game and first "art thing i brought to a festival" my god.
An absolutely unhinged @magfest.org this year. I saw strangers setting 4 hour timers on their phones, or running to my table with 6 badges from their friends.
I also was obsessed with @mtylpg.bsky.social's fish badge game. Set timers the entire con. Seemed like "cheating" to get friends to scan your badge, but having people came together to take care of each other's fishes made it even more communal and fun.
My boy Low Guevara got so big, I love him
for the record you're in 5th, pretty massive gulf from you to 6th place but I am astounded there are 4 ahead of you (no idea who bits mayo is)
Really looks like the group feeds on the final day are what heavily skewed things (lots of bonus perfect feeds for folks who kept their fish on-screen)
Legit hurt my shoulder on Panic Park day one and have no regrets, amazing cabinet

This year's Super Magfest held a David Lynch shrine. As the weekend progressed, it grew and grew, at one point including a Blue Velvet screening on repeat (pictured bottom right). What a lovely gesture from fans.

This was in a new space at MAG devoted to inclusion and equity, def going to scale up the session a lot next year now that I know there's a folks interested in learning more π±
It ended up being less a workshop and more a round table but it was lovely! Great mix of experience, both in terms of personal ability and relation to gamedev/design (some brand new indie devs, some folks with AAA experience), lots of new contacts made so that's a win in my book βοΈ
