We're going to be pretty busy this year at GDC: our booth is 3x bigger, we're showing off InstantAction to the public for the first time, and we're even giving regular presentations at the booth. Here's a full schedule of what GarageGames is up to in San Fran next week...
Every half hour, feast your eyes on a public demonstration of the entire network. Get a chance to win stuff and sign up for the beta.
WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 20
11:30 - Fallen Empires: Legions
