BitSummit games to be curated this year; submissions now open - [INDIEGAMING]

The dates and location of this summer's BitSummit were recently announced, and they are taking developer attendance submissions until May 15, 2015. Unlike the past two years, however, this year's games will be curated and although submitting one's game is still free, developers selected to attend will be charged "a yet-to-be decided nominal fee to help pay for t-shirts, and food for the volunteer staff and developers."

According to the BitSummit FAQ, games will be selected by a judging committee based on the following factors:

* You should aim to provide as much information as you have available. Do you have a trailer, demo, or screenshots? Will you have a playable demo by BitSummit? Evidence for this could be previously released games, ambitious and/or responsive team members, a successful Kickstarter campaign, etc.
* Does the game present a unique, interesting, or thoughtful design or mechanic? Is the aesthetic style compelling? Does the game address a social issue or offer a unique perspective or philosophy on game design? Does your game represent a larger genre in a compelling way, or an under-represented genre?
* Does the team/individual or company provide value to the indie community? Is the game or developer able to contribute positively to the indie community?

One side effect of the curation is that developers will no longer be allowed to share tables with other developers. There is much more information available in the BitSummit FAQ for those who are interested.
