Games For Change Call For Submissions

February 3, 2011

The organizers of the Games For Change festival have issued a call for speakers, demos and award nominees for its 8th annual event. Game For Change takes place in New York City June 20 - 22. Those interested in submitting ideas should visit the event's official site.

A minimum of five in-development games that adhere to the organization’s goal of supporting "serious games" will be shown off during the event this year. These games will be shown off to designers and potential funders for feedback and possible opportunities. Games that are already completed can be submitted for the annual Games for Change Awards. Award categories including Direct Impact, Learning & Education, Transmedia and the Knight News Game Award.

Speakers are also welcomed to pitch topics such as promoting real-world action, games that aid underserved communities, games and education, games as art, and more.

All pitches are due by March 14.

Andrew Eisen: Here's a telling bit: the page with the updates to the DRM? Yeah, it's down right now. And MS wonders why this "online check" stuff irks us so much.06/19/2013 - 3:40pm
Imautobot: Damage is done, I am not going to give them another chance.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm
Andrew Eisen: "Online authentication will still be required, but only during a console's initial setup" Hopefully, that means setting up Xbox Live and such.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm

IanC: Yeah, too little, too late. They lost my trust, and this sint enough to get it back. Theres just this lingering fear that one day it will come back, in some way.06/19/2013 - 3:35pm
E. Zachary Knight: Gamasutra has confirmed it. They are reversing their DRM policies. Not sure what it all entails though. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/194649/Microsoft_reverses_Xbox_One_DRM_policy.php06/19/2013 - 3:33pm
E. Zachary Knight: Rumor has it that Microsoft is just going to up and ditch its DRM policies before launch. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/microsoft-to-pull-complete-reversal-on-xbox-one-dr/1100-4673/06/19/2013 - 3:13pm
E. Zachary Knight: It is the same price as the existing slim, uses all new cables (power and composite) and does not have optical audio. So you have to use HDMI if you want HD video and surround sound.06/19/2013 - 2:12pm
E. Zachary Knight: Interesting. IGN is recommending that you just skip the new 360 redesign. http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/06/18/unboxing-the-xbox-360-super-slim06/19/2013 - 2:12pm

Imautobot: Maybe there really is something to be said about selling a game at a fair price.06/19/2013 - 8:35am
MechaTama31: Imautobot: I dunno. Ask my hundreds-strong Steam library, which I have played maybe 10-20% of. Those sales are just too good to pass up... >.>06/19/2013 - 7:38am
Imautobot: Bought 5 GOG games last night, now I wonder if I'll play them. Why is it so comforting to know we have it, and yet such a challenge to bring ourselves to play it?06/19/2013 - 7:28am
Andrew Eisen: Okay, fixed. For really reals this time!06/19/2013 - 12:42am
