Are you salivating? It’s totally cool if you are, but I’d suggest moving back a bit so as not to get it all over your keyboard. Or maybe you’re too caught up in the list above and haven’t even bothered to read this helpful little blurb of advice yet. In which case, well, I’m sorry about your now-broken keyboard.
If it’s any consolation, you won’t have to wait long to see who took home the proverbial cake: winners will be announced during the Game Developer’s Conference on March 27. Gamezebo will be in attendance, and we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop!
