Today I Die at Indiecade 2009

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).

Are any of the finalist your favorite? If so, why?


Well, I really like Osmos.


What´s Edmund like in person? I´d like to get wasted with that guy and yell outrageous things in public places.

Great! Thanks for post


Have you ever considered placing more videos to your weblog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire blog post of yours and it was quite great but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out!
