Games, Gamers, Game-Makers and Gaming Exhibits Will Play in Astoria all Weekend

There are games. There are long-running, high-tech, state-of-the-art games. And then there’s IndieCade East! On Friday, the Museum of the Moving Image will kick off a three-day extravaganza featuring all kinds of video pursuits and the independent creators who make them. Attendees will enjoy talks, panels, workshops, exhibits and games curated from IndieCade’s designers, thinkers and players. Keynote speakers will be Bennet Foddy and Auriea Harvey, designers who are featured in the Indie Essentials exhibit currently on display at the museum. Included in the fun will be the highly popular IndieCade Show and Tell, an eSports tournament and a new spin on IndieCade’s Night Games event. Throughout the weekend, the museum will also present The Game-Making Game, a workshop for children ages 8 and older (materials fee applies).
