Slamdance Games is a gaming competition that brings the finalists together in Utah. I would imagine that it's a fantastic way for someone to get some contacts, should they make it as a finalist.

SCMRPG was a finalist, but then later given the boot.

From Grand Text Auto

1/5/2007: Kotaku is reporting, and Water Cooler Games confirming, that Super Columbine RPG, accepted as a finalist for the Slamdance Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition, has been pulled from the copetition by festival organizers under pressure from sponsors. Apparently this is a first for any film or game that has been accepted to Slamdance. Oddly, the game was actively courted by Slamdance before submissions were due. See the comments at GamePolitics.com, too.

Update (January 6): Two-time Slamdance finalist Ian Bogost says the decision was personal, not a business move, and declares the Slamdance Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition dead.


Here is an article with more on SCMRPG getting removed for moral grounds.

And two games are out, as their authors have decided to pull out of the competition in protest, and at least one more guy is considering it.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
