Recent GPM graduate Akira Thompson is an award finalist at this year’s Indiecade Festival for his game &maybethewontkillyou. The annual event showcases and recognizes independent developers for their innovations in interactive artistry. Akira’s game, which was also featured at IndieCade’s Showcase @E3 2015, is a live-action experience that examines the nature of police violence and what it means to be black in America.
Akira and his game were recently profiled by writer Leigh Alexander for Offworld.com.
