Indie Games Night Market -- Community Newsletter Issue 34

Hey Reader! David Kessler here. Indie Games Night Market at PAX UnpluggedThe Indie Games Night Market is coming to PAX Unplugged on Dec 7th, 2024, and three vendor tables will have games by Protospiel Community members! In the same vein as the Tokyo Game Market, the Indie Games Night Market serves as an in-person marketplace for small batch, unique games that would otherwise have no channel for purchase. The featured games have not been signed by publishers and have no intention to go on a crowdfunding platform. These games are meant to be interesting and unique, but might not have wide appeal. What an awesome way to support innovation and curiosity for game designers! Details about these games can be found on the IGNM website here. Some of the featured games look really cool! Connor Wake of Always Awake Games is featuring two games: Out of Sorts, and Hedged In (which was co-designed by Jamie Sabriel). Out of Sorts is a cooperative game about an alien librarian asking you to sort an alien book collection.
By the way, Connor also has another game coming out soon and it's on Kickstarter right now. Check out Hedge Maze! Tony Tran of Chitra Games is featuring In Memory Of (tested at PO in August 2024). This is a storytelling game where you reminisce about loved ones who have passed away.
Congrats to all of these creators. I am so excited to see these games at PAX Unplugged in December. 📣Announcements Announcements Annooouuuncements!
That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more awesome events, community opportunities, and updates about games tested at Protospiel! ~David P.S. If you have something you'd like to see featured in our Community Newsletter, you have 3 options -- either submit an official feature request, reply to this message, or, if you're a current attendee or alumni, post in the #🙌share-your-wins channel in the Protospiel Online Discord server to let us know the details. We'd love to celebrate you! |

Hey Reader! Heather Newton here. We've had lots of exciting news about games from our community lately. This weeks feature is one I've been looking forward to for awhile, so let's get to it. Tomten Now on Kickstarter! Way back in January of 2022 Tomten: The Tactical Game of Christmas Gnomes made the rounds at Protospiel Online. It was one of my personal favorites of those I got to playtest that weekend, and I've been eagerly awaiting my next chance to play. That time is nearly at hand!...
