      5. Public Games Database (updated for AnimeIowa 2026)
        1. As we prepare for AnimeIowa, I have taken the time to develop a public games database. It can be viewed Here
        2. The goal long term is to develop this so that people can easily search for specific games, genres, or consoles. However there are some limitations with Google Sheets that so far seem to indicate that people need editor access in order to use the search functionality I have developed in an internal development copy of the public spreadsheet. This is still an area that is a WIP.
      6. Tournament concept for Gamicon
