Billing itself as "the first gaming convention focused on the queer geek culture", GaymerX will feature panels and talks with an eye toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues in the modern games industry.
Yet alongside talks like 'Electronic Arts - Why We Think It is Important To Create More LGBT Inclusive Games' are panels with a broader scope like 'So you want to be an indie developer'.
Said panel will discuss everything from which engine or tool is right for a developer's first indie release to how to pitch a game to the right publisher.
Fundraising and feedback
After that's sorted, a stopover at 'How to Run a Successful Kickstarter Campaign' will help aspiring developers address that missing 'something' that separates a funded Kickstarter campaign from a failed one.
Finally, 'Providing Feedback to Developers: How to be Heard and Listened' to sees Dragon Age's lead writer David Gaider join with BioWare community manager Jessica Merizan and community event specialist Chris Priestly as they lead a panel on how players can best make their voices heard by developers.
