Indie Arcade 2020 Submission Form
This form is for submissions to the Indie Arcade at Super MAGFest 2020! This is for games with custom arcade cabinets or other physical controllers that want to be featured at MAGFest 2020.

You do not need to have submitted your game to MIVS (MAGFest Indie Videogame Showcase) to submit to the Indie Arcade and submitting to the Indie Arcade is different from submitting to MIVS; there will be a separate MIVS form later this month.

Deadline to submit your game: Monday, September 30th 11:59PM (EST).

Before submitting your game, please read our FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c3Jr3AtqOFlRF6BwjD4TcLMR2hOPA9OT_orBL7kjNcQ

We will let you know about the status of your submission by October 30th.

The Indie Arcade is being run by Death By Audio Arcade from NYC. If you have any questions, please email indiearcade@magfest.org, or visit https://deathbyaudioarcade.com to learn more about our organization.

Game Name *
Studio Name *
Name of Primary Contact *
This is who we will reach out to with info about your submission. This is also one of the people who should be physically present at MAGFest to run your game.
Email of primary contact *
Phone number of primary contact *
Game Details
Brief description of your game *
Just a few sentences. No more than two paragraphs.
Link to a video of your game in action *
Just footage of people playing your arcade game. Cellphone is fine. Please do not send us a gameplay trailer that does not show the arcade setup. You can provide a password if it is not a public video.
Link to one or more photos of your game *
Logos and screenshots are fine, but at least one photo must be of your arcade setup.
Are you also submitting this game to MIVS?
This is not a requirement either way and an acceptance from the Indie Arcade or MIVS will not have an effect on the other, this info is just to help us coordinate.

Exhibition Needs
The MAGFest Indie Arcade is intended for unattended games and installations that will be available for play for all 72 hours of MAGFest. We may consider exceptions to this policy at our discretion, but games that need to be attended by devs at a table should likely go through the MIVS application process.
Will at least one person from your team be present at MAGFest to setup your game on Wednesday Jan 1st (or early Thursday Jan 2nd) and remain their all weekend to run the game? *
Though the Indie Arcade can help setup a few games each year, we simply do not have the resources to setup more than one or two games on our own.
Will your machine have a dedicated monitor or other large display? *
The Indie Arcade is a space for installation games with an emphasis on large or unique visuals and novel interfaces - if you're interested in demoing something on a smaller scale your game might be a better fit for MIVS.
I understand that I will be responsible for supplying ALL equipment required to run my game. *
It will be up to you and your team to provide all equipment for your game (including power strips, screens & speakers if necessary). We highly recommend bringing a spare extension cord & labeling all of your equipment.
I understand that I will be responsible for the safety and security of all of this equipment during MAGFest. *
We do not have a locked space and the show-floor will be open to the public for the entire event. Some devs feel comfortable leaving their equipment on the show-floor overnight. If you do not, you will need to have a plan to secure it or bring it back to your room. We will not be able to keep an eye on your stuff.
Logistics and Setup
MAGFest runs for 72 hours straight. It's a lot of fun but it can be taxing for physical installations. Will your game be able to run uninterrupted for this time? *
Will you need any assistance to get your game to MAGFest? *
We have a limited budget to assist devs. Be aware, this budget is small and you have a better chance of being accepted if you can get your game here yourself. That being said, we do not want to close the door on devs with fewer resources. Please let us know exactly what you would need/if you would be comfortable carpooling etc.
How many players is your game designed for? *
How much space does the game's cabinet or control scheme take up? *
If possible, provide approximate width/depth measurements.
How critical is sound for playing your game? *
The space is loud, but we can try to make it work!
Would you be interested in a (paid) hotel room at the Gaylord?
The hotel rooms at this event fill up almost instantly. We may be able to reserve a block for people showing work in the Indie Arcade. These rooms would be at the normal price.
