This looks interesting, but why is 75% of your landing page your bios? When clicking the link, I definitely didn't have in mind "I wonder who founded this and what their background is". I now know a lot about who organizes this and what their reasons are, but I don't know anything about what it is.

That's the about page. The landing page has more info:

> We are the largest indie conferences for low-level programmers. This is your portal to meet with folks into graphics, game engines, kernels, compilers, and more!

Ah, derp, I didn't look at the link, thank you.

The one time I link to the About page instead of the landing... sorry! (I only did it because it mentions the bit about being sponsor-free.)

Nah, it's my fault, I spaced out and didn't read the URL.

To be fair, that's the about page, not the landing page. And their goals and reasons for organizing it are commendable.

Abner, I'd be interested to hear more about what it was like working with Jonathan Blow. (Maybe your project's about page isn't the place to go into it, but possibly here, your personal blog, or private email.)

I'd love to see his reaction to watching the Game Helpin' Squad's tutorial, "Time Travel Understander"!

I pointed Will Wright at their SimCity parody tutorial on "Pretend Gas Station", and he loved it!

My favorite, which you have to pause to read all the hilarious popup text and chat that goes by quickly, is the Game Helpin' Squad's "World Quester 2" tutorial:
