What is in an issue

Every date links to its calendar entry, and from there to the organiser's own page, checked on the day shown.

  • Closing soon

    Festivals, showcases, awards, Steam events and funds whose deadline is in the next three weeks, earliest first, with the fee and the time zone the organiser gives.

  • Newly open

    Calls that opened since the last issue, and ones we just added to the calendar.

  • Rising this week

    The unreleased games whose Twitch category had the most different channels, with the counts and the week before. It starts once we have published a few weeks of the list.

  • Sponsored, and marked

    At most one main and two short sponsored messages, always marked. Sponsors never get your address.

Your address

You sign up with your e-mail and confirm it with a link we e-mail you. We use the address, and the date and wording of your consent, only to send this newsletter; Loops sends it for us. If you also tell us whether you make games or work for a company that works with studios, that answer, the page you came from and the campaign tags in its address are only counted in totals, and you can object to that. We don't track who opens an issue or clicks a link. Every issue has an unsubscribe link. Privacy
