For TouchArcade readers, GDC season means that entire week will be a flood of content as we meet with developer after developer checking out their new mobile games (or mobile game updates). Also, this year we've even taken a few appointments for Switch stuff which might be sort of interesting. Getting all these stories online is highly dependent on local WiFi, so we'd really appreciate it if everyone could make some small offering to the convention connectivity gods between now and then.
If you're a developer attending the conference, we're doing the same thing we usually do with one minor difference this year. We're giving first dibs on appointments. If you're a backer, and heading to GDC, head on over to to find all the details on how to book a meeting with us. We'll open up the schedule for everyone else, assuming we have any slots left, after it looks like most of the folks supporting us on Patreon book their meetings... So stay tuned for that, there will be another announcement when that happens.
As far as our party is concerned, it's happening at the same time and the same place with one minor difference! was generous enough to sponsor the party, and we'll have a couple hundred drink tickets good for freebies at the bar. The party itself will be hosted at , which is the hotel lobby bar of the on 780 Mission Street. We'll kick things off at around 7:00 PM and end when they kick us out (which I think is around midnight). Where things go from there is anyone's guess!
If you'd like to follow TouchArcade GDC Party tradition, and get some stickers made to pass out, to get $10 off your first oder on Sticker Mule. Their 2x2" rounded corner sticker is perfect for an app icon. We do this every year, so if you've got a ton of stickers left over be sure to bring them. I'm even going to bring a selection of historical stickers from my archives from parties of the past to hand out. Also, this party isn't just limited to developers. If you're a fan of TouchArcade and even remotely local to San Francisco, come hang out!
