We’ve gathered a team of indie game designers to talk about what it means to “design a game”.

Moderated by Dan Bernardo (Playtra, Grid Force), and featuring Vicky Wei (Redstart Interactive, Get-A-Grip Chip), Mason Remaley (Anthropic Studios, Way of Rhea), and Ross Przbylski (D20Studios, Summoners Fate).

If you’ve ever wanted to have a hand in making a game but you’re just not sure where to start, who better to learn from than a group of game developers?

Moderated by Dave Wightman (Reclamation Games, Reina & Jericho) and featuring Riccardo Amico (Playtra, Grid Force - Mask of the Goddess), Sadie Jarvis (Gerdoo Games / Republic of Jungle), and Tristan Barona (Taco Pizza Cats, KindFolx).

Sunday, July 10th @ 9:30 AM PT

Picking the next project is a decision that dictates not just however many years of development, but it’s the first and most important decision over the course of any game’s development.

Moderated by Sadie Jarvis (Gerdoo Games / Republic of Jungle) and featuring Andrew Trese (Trese Brothers Games, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint), Nicola Strina (Playtra Games, Grid Force - Mask of the Goddess), and Karam Al-Kofahi (RalphGame)

You don’t think “crunch” is something exclusive to AAA developers, do you? Often indie developers can have the same time pressures of the development itself while also wearing all the other hats required to launch a successful game.

Moderated by Tony Walsh (Phantom Compass, Rollers of the Realm: Reunion) and featuring Michael Hammon (Big Blue Bubble, Power Chord), Sophie Schiaratura (Fishing Cactus, Outshine), and Eric Kesterson (Type 3 Studios, Super Marxist Twins)

No matter how unique a game may feel, it’s inescapably a product of the developers' influences over the years....the only question is how hard (if at all) those influences are masked.  What creatively drives developers, and how they can wear their influences like a badge of honor without feeling like they’re ripping anyone off.

Moderated by Vicky Wei (Redstart Interactive, Get-A-Grip Chip) and featuring Cory Trese (Trese Brothers Games, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint), Thomas Keane (Godolphin Games, Unknown Number: A First Person Talker), and Dave Wightman (Reclamation Games, Reina & Jericho)

Saturday @ 12:30 PM PT and Sunday @ 3:30 PM PT

Let's see how many Arcadians we can cram into some Jackbox games, shall we?

Saturday @ 3:30 PM PT and Sunday @ 5:00 PM PT

The less you know about this game, the better...but you might want to clear some floor space for some serious ROFLing.

Saturday @ 11:00 AM PT and Sunday @ 12:30 PM PT

If you’ve participated in any of our prior PAX Online events, you know we’ve got our own home-grown suite of silly Discord games, like our Beach Ball game, our Typing or Math Challenges, and such. Sometimes they work! Will they work this time? Only one way to find out!
