The first major checkpoint for Verde Station has always been to submit to IndieCade. And it's been completed! They are a great organization that supports and encourages indie game development. Each year they take submissions of games, demos, concepts, etc. to be showcased at the IndieCade Convention in the L.A. area. It includes a professional conference track, networking, social events, tournaments and entertainment, and hands-on gameplay with over 100 independent games.
The build of Verde Station that was submitted is the current opening of the game, the first 15-30 minutes or so. It's a great build to capture the essence of the game. The game is coming along fast though and will be considerably further along (maybe even finished) by the time IndieCade has their convention in October. They're still taking regular submissions until May 15th and late submissions until June 15th so if you're working on a game I encourage you to submit too!
