Nintendo Community Fangame Convention
The Nintendo Community Fangame Convention (NCFC) is an event planned to take place from October 8th to October 12th. Currently in the planning and development stages, it involves many Nintendo-related fangaming communities, such as MFGG, Metroid: Fan Mission, and The Zelda Game Network. Any fangames that feature Nintendo characters, or are otherwise related to Nintendo, can be submitted. Fangames are showcased via "booths," which are websites that provide information about the game, and in some cases offer demos or complete versions.
In addition to booths, there are also "workshops," which are live demonstrations of how various fangame-related objectives are shown. While most workshops can only be registered by a pair of users (a lead host and an assistant), two workshops (Engine Components for Clickteam products and Game Maker) can be hosted by multiple pairs, as these workshops can contain more than one subject.
Due to this event, many people have decided to release their games at the event before releasing them to their originating communities.
