Nidhogg, NecroDancer headline IndieCade East eSports, Night Games lineups
Indiecade East, a festival celebrating indie creations, runs from February 14 - 16 in Astoria, New York at the Museum of the Moving Image. The folks behind the indie games festival have announced full lineups for the eSports and Night Games showcases today.
The eSports showcase, highlighting competitive games from the indie community on Saturday and Sunday, will be headlined by Messhof's fencing game Nidhogg. Other standout eSports offerings include Videoball from Action Button, Glitchnap's space-jousting game Laza Knitez and dodgeball simulator Stikbold from Reign Bros.
The Night Games showcase will offer up "a diverse mix of live action games, multiplayer games, theater projections of upcoming indie games and more," the press release past the break says, and goes down on Saturday night, February 15, from 7pm until 10pm. Among the highlighted games are rhythm-based roguelike Crypt of the NecroDancer and Tether, a multiplayer game where players must work to collect orbs but are chained to their opponents. Tenya Wanya Teens, from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, will also be on-hand.
