Independent game developers Fut 14 Coins looking

Independent game developers Fut 14 Coins looking for some recognition got a big break at the Game Developers Conference earlier this year as Miller Freeman sponsored the first GDC Independent Games Festival. The festival allowed indie developers the chance to put their best games on display for a possible publishing deal with the Gathering of Developers as well to talk to other developers and the gaming press.

The GDC is now looking for interested developers who wish to enter the second annual IGF. It has announced a September 1, 1999, deadline for first-round entries. Next year's IGF will take place during the GDC at the San Jose, Calif., Convention Center on March 8-12 2000.

Entries must come from a developer currently without a publisher and can be based on PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Nintendo platforms as well as online. Submission forms for entry can be found online at the official IGF site. After all developer entries have been received, 30 developers will be invited to show off at the trade-only event as a jury of industry headliners will judge titles in categories like technical excellence, art, audio, game design. One grand prize will be awarded.
