Hey Insiders,

It’s hard to believe, but this is the third and final week of the Road to Play NYC mini-series we’ve been producing. Play NYC is this weekend, and after talking with all of our incredible guests, I have no doubt that it’s going to be an experience to remember. Robert Canciello has convinced me that the convention is in good hands, and Jane and Andy are going to make sure that the games and pure art you’ll be seeing will make Play NYC unique and special.

It’s important for me to remember why I decided to produce this series in the first place. Indie Insider exists because we wanted to help others with the desire to make games by sharing stories and advice from others. Playcrafting, and Play NYC, is striving to do something similar, and I couldn’t be more proud of what everyone is accomplishing. If you’re looking to make your first game, or you’re an experienced developer looking for something new, you’re definitely in the right place.

Make sure you check out the episode and hear the exclusive announcements Dan has to share about this weekend. And make sure you join us next week as we begin our 50th episode celebration with Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. You can hear exclusive announcements about our 50th episode celebration by checking out the episode as well.

Finally, thank you all for joining us on this Road to Play NYC journey. It’s been a TON of work, but I couldn’t be happier about it all. If you enjoy the show, please rate us on iTunes or your favorite podcast service so we can keep doing amazing things like this with amazing people. Either way, thank you, and enjoy Play NYC this weekend!
