I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

Another year of @gdocexpo.com completed, and I think this was one of our best yet. Stellar games for our Direct showcase and Sale, and phenomenal talks. It was a honor to get to help lead as Head of Curation this year.

So proud of the team, all our participants and community. So, so good.

A screenshot of Josh hosting. The overlay is titled "GDOC EXPO: Josh Boykin, Head of Curation and Host". A Black man with salt and pepper (mostly salt at this point) hair stands in a room wearing a black-and-red sweater (It's a Miles Morales sweater, lol). On his left, a black curtain. Behind him on the left, a silver and gold picture with three bears gathered around a laptop. Behind him on the right, a blue-and-orange painting. On the right, a Daft Punk poster of a head in a helmet, half-silver, half-gold.

Gamedev friends, If you aren’t attending GDoC Expo every year, you’re missing out on some amazing talks

Game Devs of Color Expo @gdocexpo.com · 19d

Ain't I a game dev?

@scardeykat.bsky.social says if the system doesn't have a solution for you, work outside of it! Great insights here on how to make an impact in your company and community! 🙌🏾 It's worth it.
