Good-bye, PAX West! Hello, PAX East and GDC 2020!

Fall is officially here! There’s a crisp chill in the air as waves of pumpkin spice waft over the breeze. Before we leave the warm Summer sun, we want to thank everyone who made PAX West 2019 one of IMB’s BEST PAX EVENTS YET! In this newsletter, we walk you through all the great moments in our highlight reel, a few of the awards, and – yes – we’ll tell you about when to expect open submissions for PAX East 2020 and GDC. (Hint: Start following us on Twitter, Instagram, and Discord.)

IMB AT PAX AND BEYOND!

Did you miss out on the sights, sounds, and demos at this year’s PAX West or want to relive some of those moments? The IMB Wrap-Up Blog has everything you need from our sizzle reel to our panel recording to official photos and more!

IMB’s BUILDING BRIDGES & BREAKING BARRIERS PANEL returned to PAX West this year to dive deep into ways developers are looking to connect with new audiences and foster their local communities around the world.

IMB had a photographer weaving the aisles during PAX West capturing all the excitement! If you hung out in the MEGABOOTH at any point during PAX West, there’s a good chance of finding yourself in the Official IMB Flickr album!

Studio Kumiho talks about their experience at the MINIBOOTH showcasing their title in front of strangers, what it’s like to be at the event, and one thing they would change for next time.

Did you get to get to play with cooking robots or a frog trying to figure out a mystery? Check out the great MEGABOOTH games that made Forbes’ Best of PAX List.

Thanks to our Visual Novel Reading Room and amazing collection of dating sims, Nerdist swiped right on everything from college vampires to senior citizens. See what made the list here.

The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the indie developers you need to follow now. Learn who made the trip to the PAX West and participated in the MEGABOOTH with this list via GeekWire.

VentureBeat wrote up an article about the team behind That Dragon, Cancer trying out the sound-driven tech from Bose Audio.

Starting in early October, IMB will be accepting submissions for our PAX East 2020 and GDC showcases. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Discord for more updates!
