Frequently Asked Questions

Does the build I submit have to be finished?

Not at all! We don’t expect your game to be finished by the deadline, but we do expect it to be playable enough for us to judge whether or not it meets the content guidelines. Bugs or unfinished content won’t be held against your game for selection. We will request for selected games to send in any final builds by 6/20/22.

How will games be selected to be on stream?

SGDA is making an effort not to judge games only by polish or amount of content. We will be factoring in the uniqueness, meaning, and impact of the games’ content and/or creators. We hope that in this way we can include smaller teams and less experienced developers.

What happens if my game is selected to be part of the virtual showcase?

Once we review submissions, we will coordinate with all applicants to finalize their game information and graphic(s) to be shown on the showcase webpage and on stream in-between events.

What happens if my game is selected to be on stream?

We will invite you onto the stream for an interview regarding your game. If you opt-in, we will be in contact with you to request further information/graphics if necessary, review our livestream guidelines, and arrange a timeslot for your game’s segment. Time slots of each segment will be at least 30 minutes (length pending). We may also perform a tech check and request any updated builds before 6/20/22.
