Did you attend the Indie Night Market and want to talk to us about how it went (and report on PAXU more broadly)? HMU
We've been chatting about Indie Markets regularly lately and sad to be missing the one at this year's PAXU. We'd love to hear a report from the floor if anyone attending would like to join us.
Threw together a quick poster / flyer for the event this Saturday. Come check out some cool indie games!

It's the final day of #PAXU but that doesn't mean the fun is slowing down yet!
Make your way up to Level 4 to see what's new and hot in game design 🎲✂️! Both Unpub and First Look are up here, so it really is the most cutting edge area in all of PAX! See you soon 😀
