IGF Call for Submissions, Get Your Game On!
The Independent Games Festival has opened up it’s call for submissions for 2009, so in addition to Dream Build Play you have another great reason to continue devloping the great games your currently working on with XNA Game Studio. The open call for submissions doesn’t close till November so that lines up with Dream Build Play pretty well. Last year we saw a few great submissions of games based on the XNA Framework, this year I’m hoping that we’ll see even more!
Here are some of the key IGF dates:
July 1st, 2008 – Submissions are Open
November 1st, 2008 – Submission Deadline, Main Competition
November 15th, 2008 – Submission Deadline, Student Competition

If you haven’t started your game for this year, now would be the time! It sounds like they’ll also have some information for the kickoff of IGF Mobile so if you’ve been working on a Zune game start getting it ready!
