Ignite Guelph 1 Games

Last night I gave a 5 minute talk titled “In Defence of Art Games” at the 1st Ignite Guelph event. The talk was about embracing games that push the boundaries of the definition of “games”. Videos of the talks will be posted online at some point, and I’ll post a link when they are. Several people after the talk asked about the games I had on my slides, so I thought I’d put together a list, in case anyone want to learn more about some of these games.

So here they are, a list of indie games, posted without much context. The context will come when I can post a video of the talk. 🙂
