Today I Die and I Wish I Were the Moon were selected as finalists for Indiecade 2009, an independent games festival at Culver City, California.

I will be attending the event, participating in a Pecha-Kucha style presentation (12 powerpoint slides, 16 seconds each) and a presentation about “Games and Emotions” that sounds very exciting, provided I figure out what it really means.

During the event, I will be showing some prototypes I’ve been working on, and make an interesting announcement related to Today I Die.

I will try to keep things updated through Twitter (http://twitter.com/danielben).
