Texas Independent Game Conference

Austin, TX is going to be home to the inaugural Texas Independent Game Conference coming up July 22-23, 2006. I only just saw an announcement for this, so I don't know much about it yet other than what you'll find yourself by visiting their site. The keynote speakers are announced to be Warren Spector and Greg Costikyan, which is a good start. Early registration is $90 which is pretty cheap (price of a couple programming books, eh?)

The program looks to cover roughly this:

  • Veterans and Visionaries - hear from those that have been there and done that.and people who have a keen eye for the future.
  • Market Place - how to commercialize indie games
  • Tool Sets - hands on sessions to hear about the latest tools and even use them.
  • Game Mods - the role of mods in game development and mod friendly game design
