This November 14th, the latest edition of Indie Jam Sessions takes a closer look at how game developers can get their work noticed by the press. Indie Jam Sessions is a monthly game development workshop and playtesting series presented by THE MAGIC RAIN, Make With Friends, and Playing Grounds.
This month’s session, titled “What Journalists Want: How To Impress The Press”, will explore what journalists look for when covering games, how developers can approach the media, and what makes a game or story stand out.
The session will feature Nathalie Tay, Editor-in-Chief of THE MAGIC RAIN. As an editor working closely with the games industry, Nathalie will share her perspective on what makes a compelling story, how to get journalists interested in your game, and how developers can better communicate their work to the press.
Nathalie is also the founder of Indie Jam, Malaysia’s largest independent games showcase, which has featured over 100 Southeast Asian games across its four-year run. Through her work across editorial and digital games, she connects creatives, communities, and industries through events and partnerships.
Whether you’re an indie developer preparing to promote your next release or a student looking to understand how games get media coverage, this session offers a chance to hear directly from someone working on the other side of the press.
