For those that haven’t heard of it, “The Independent Gaming Source” or TIGSource, is a super rad indie game development community. Its run by my good buddy Derek Yu, and its become a positive, upbeat place to meet like-minded indie game developers. TIGSource has grown from a blog to include a massive forum and even an interactive database of independent games. Regular competitions are held at TIGSource around really creative themes: B-Games, Procedurally Generated content and Retro Demakes for example. Heck, back in the day there was even a Sexiest Indie Gamer compo!
But most recently, Derek and a few other folks have been organizing a TIGSource community gathering called TIGJam. At the end of September, a bunch of us are going to get together in Phoenix for a few days to collaborate and bust out some awesome games. I’m really looking forward to this, because I’ll get to hang out with some of my American friends who I only get to visit whenever there’s some kind of game development convention.
There will also be super rad T-Shirts, natch.
