Y'all!! 😭OMG! just 24 hours in and we're already almost half through! Thank you SO SO much to those who already donated!
I wasn't sure how feasible this was, and with the amount donated already, we can secure 1 show + maybe a 2nd hand laptop to be able to show more games.

especially after exhausting weekends, the show is only 1 aspect of the actual intent of putting these things on. This was a good wake up call for 2026, and a good reminder for better organization all around.

Okay!! PSA!! A friendly reminder to all event people, DOUBLE CHECK YOUR LAST MESSAGES! I thought my correspondences were all tied up, but it wasn't the case. And that really sucks, so sorry we missed a donation to a great group, but it's all figured out.

If you are attending GDC to pitch to a publisher, remember:
- You are owed respect and professionalism no matter who you are
- They couldn't operate without developers
- You are evaluating THEM as much as they are evaluating you
You got this. You deserve to be there. I am rooting for you.
