play for vibes while you scroll:
or when you're fixing a gazillion bugs way behind schedule and think "if I could just tap into someone's brain..."
or when you're a writer/artist/composer scrolling Discord at midnight wondering "where are the projects that actually need what I do..."
well, what if you could just... show your messy ideas, get feedback from peers who get it, play their half-baked prototypes, and maybe find the collaborators you didn't know you needed?
Dev & Draft is presented as part of ideas fest Season 1 by Fireplace
it’s a space where creators are encouraged to bring their messiest prototypes, broken builds, and "idk-if-this-works-yet" projects — and if you register to showcase with us, people can actually get to play/interact with them. Otherwise, we will have an area where you can connect with peers and hang out.
we accept polished games, but we are even more interested in games with placeholder art. tabletop RPGs scribbled on index cards. card games held together by sleeved poker decks. board game prototypes with hand-drawn tiles.
we are not looking for trailers. no fuss about carefully curated screenshots. just raw gameplay, weird bugs, and the pure chaos of ideas still cooking.
think of it as a game jam showcase meets drunk playtesting session. but everyone's sober.
