It’s getting colder outside so make sure to turn that thermostat up so you don’t have to stop gaming and fix it later. If you plan on heading out for any Black Friday sales make sure you bundle up. Or just wait for Cyber Monday sales to start (It’s probably safer tbh.) Follow us on Twitter or give us a like on Facebook for information on games and gaming in Oklahoma!

This year, we’re offering studios from around the world a shot at cash prizes, including our first annual Scissor-Tail Prize, which will be given to the best submission created here in Oklahoma!

Each game will be playable on the floor, and you’ll be able to meet their creators too! If you’ve ever wanted a peek at the creative process behind making video games, this is your chance. It’s also a great opportunity for would-be game developers to make some connections.

See all of our amazing games in our Indie Alley Showcase right here!
