About Boston Festival of Indie Games (www.bostonfig.com):
The Boston Festival of Indie Games is a celebration of independent game development with emphasis on the New England and neighboring regions. The Boston Festival of Indie Games seeks to support and showcase the efforts of independent game developers by providing a free public event that encourages attendees to share and interact with games in various media, including video games, location-based games and tabletop games. Produced under the non-profit auspices of BeEpic, a Boston location-based games production group, the Boston Festival of Indie Games is focused on creating an intersection between community, academic and independent interests in game play.
Why I'm excited that Mark, Gene and Jeremy have contributed their games to Kickstarter campaign of our festival:
Our Last Best Hope by Mark Diaz Truman
Mark has impressed me with three things on Kickstarter. The first two are what I’d call two wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns in the past year. His first Kickstarter campaign for “The Play’s The Thing” got more than 1000% funding and his campaign for “Our Last Best Hope” was funded for over 400%. The third thing is his backer history. He has backed 87 projects. Talk about giving back to the community!

BOP! - D!Git - Q!nto by Gene Mackles
Gene’s debut into the Indie Games Industry was with IOTA: The great big game in the teeny-weeny box. Among other awards, he won the Mensa Mind Games competition and now we have a chance to offer his 3 newest games as part of this Kickstarter.

Stack & Attack by Jeremy Burnham
Sometimes Indie tabletop designers seem to be skeptical of how feasible it is to get their game published. In my view Jeremy and his team have shown with Stack & Attack producing a fun and professional looking game is definitely within reach. One thing that has impressed me is the speed (3 months time) and low budget with which they’ve gone about it.
