Report on the Indie Game Showcase and Crowdfunding Jam

[Jeffrey]

Welcome BarCamp Portlanders!

Our first event was successful on many accounts.  

Approximately 35 people attended the crowdfunding jam, and we had three local creators share their projects.  Big thanks to Todd Pitt from Zero Strategist for facilitating and to Jessica and Nick from Blue Void Studios for sharing their experience of successful funding.  

You can learn more about their game at https://www.facebook.com/bluevoidstudios.  

The Indie Game Showcase generated many positive comments like this lovely thanks from Jana.  "Thank you so much for sharing this information with us!  Jarren was inspired by the games, the community, and the wonderful representation of dreams that can be made possible through crowd funding."  Thank you Portland Indie Game Squad for making this happen!

In June 2012, Pixel Arts plans on hosting it's second public event.  If you enjoyed our first event, please let us know and help us with expanding our vision of games for social good.  

Best,

Jeffrey
