Hi everyone!

I'm one of the organizers for the Experimental Gameplay Workshop showcase at GDC and we wanted to reach out to invite anyone making weird, experimental and different games to submit your games/prototypes/projects to this year's showcase: https://bit.ly/2RjNlfW

The EGW is one of the most popular annual sessions at GDC for nearly 20 years now and exists to shine a spotlight on some of the most novel up and coming prototypes being made by anyone passionate about game development. The application process is quick(& free) and the only commitment required if you are selected is to create a 2-5 minute gameplay highlight reel / walkthrough video, talking through what makes your design so experimental.

The projects selected for the showcase get a ton of visibility from folks across the industry, so if you're looking for new fans, funders, experienced collaborators, or just to show off to some of the industry's most ambitious designers it could be a great idea!

A few of our previous hit selections before their full release include Katamari Damacy, Untitled Goose Game, and Baba is You.

The deadline this year is June 7th, and if you are selected for the showcase you'll receive a free pass to GDC 2021 (another online edition this year but still full of good networking). We hope to grow EGW to become a bigger ongoing showcase/community with more focused sessions, and will start with the GDC showcase this July.

Let me know if you have any questions, or you can also reach out on Twitter (@ExpGameWorkshop) or by email (experimental.gw@gmail.com). Finally, if you want to learn more about the EGW you can also check out our website here: http://www.experimental-gameplay.org/
