Student Showcase Form for 2020 is now Live

Sticky Post By Amanda Wallace On January 29, 2020

This is the fifth year of Vector, the premiere game design conference in Kentucky. Held at Eastern Kentucky University in collaboration with EKU Gaming Institute and RunJumpDev, Vector is a celebration of developers from the Midwest and Southeast United States, and is designed to facilitate networking with leaders and peers in the field of game design and development.

Last year, over 200 developers attended the event from places as far afield as Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, as well as a generous attendance from local developers. This year we are hoping to grow attendance even further, and have expanded the conference to two days.

Student Showcase Sponsor – Why I Need Diverse Games

Sticky Post By Amanda Wallace On March 1, 2016

We here at Vector are super excited to announce our first sponsor, I Need Diverse Games!
I Need Diverse Games is sponsoring our Student Showcase, which will allow us to give free tickets to all participants in the Showcase! We’re extremely excited to partner with I Need Diverse Games.

Don’t Know I Need Diverse Games? You should.

Their info:

We are dedicated to helping those that want to bring more diversity to the art of gaming. We will do this by sponsoring attendance at diverse gaming conventions, promoting those that are making diverse games, indie projects and presenting on the topics of diversity in gaming at conventions. One of our goals is to have more articles, to pay people for their contributions, and to do more tangible things for the community.

We also want to help others get to conventions, share their work if funding is an issue. We would love your support to send aspiring game devs to conventions like GDC, IGDA events in their city, GeekGirlCon, HavenCon, GaymerX, and other places where gaming and diversity are parts of the conversation. We want to do this by highlighting work by marginalized, underrepresented people in the industry, getting their voices heard and their work seen be it a game, articles, etc.

Find out more about I Need Diverse Games at their website or follow them on Twitter!

If you’re a student and haven’t had a chance to sign up for our Student Showcase, you can do so here.
