The Developer Credit SIG will be making announcements at the IGDA Networking Event at 6pm March 15 in the Children’s Creativity Museum across the street from the Moscone Center South Hall.
On display will be the cumulative nomination estimates for the longest running American awards, with two of the longest running British award groups added next year. Each year, as credit records improve and new years of data are added, the rankings for career nominations by people, games, and companies will be adjusted.
The raw data released so far is available at igda.org/devcredit and you can interact with awards data at charts.navgtr.org to make custom charts and graphs comparing developer track records.
IGDA members can RSVP at https://2016igdagdc.eventbrite.com
In addition to the announcements, as an attendee you will be able to actively participate in video testimonials of your Developer Heroes and caucus on their behalf to make bold predictions for the Game Developer’s Choice Awards (March 16), Game Audio Network Guild Awards (March 17), and National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (March 21).
