Justin, David, & Samantha discuss the rise in online video game showcases, how they began, evolved & have become key elements to a game’s marketing. "I think there's enough for everyone & the more that you share amongst your friends or in your community, the better it'll be." #gamedev #gdocexpo2026

"We don't want to trivialize the depth in the game." Rhea Gupte & Prateek Saxena made Fishbowl, a slow, tender story about grief, then had to learn selling that to an algorithm built for anything but slow and tender. #gamedev #gdocexpo2026

No good or bad choices
Fishbowl observes your everyday but does not dictate how you should play it.
There are no bad endings but different paths to your journey.
