from the gaming-like-it’s-1926<\/i> dept<\/h3>\n

\nLast night at midnight, we reached the end of Gaming Like It’s 1926<\/em><\/a>, our fourth annual public domain game jam<\/a> celebrating the new works that entered the public domain this year. At final count, we got 31 entries<\/b> representing a huge variety of different kinds of digital and analog games!\n<\/p>\n

\nFor the next couple of weeks, we’ll be digging into all the games and selecting the winners in our six categories \u2014 but there’s no need to wait before playing! You can check out all the entries on itch.io<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nAt first glance (and having poked around in a couple of the early entries) I can already tell it’s going to be tough to narrow these down to just six winners \u2014 there are lots of games here that do fun and interesting things with public domain works. As in past years, once we’ve selected and announced the winners we’ll discuss each one in detail in a podcast and a series of posts.\n<\/p>\n

\nUntil then, a huge thanks to everyone who participated this year, and also to everyone who takes some time to play the games and give these designers the attention they deserve!\n<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone\u2019s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.<\/p>\n

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites \u2014 especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.<\/p>\n

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying\/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support<\/a>. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise \u2014 and every little bit helps. Thank you.<\/p>\n
