Develop:Brighton’s Indie Showcase competition is back this year to shed light on some rising developers and their projects. The competition this year has Team Junkfish as sponsors, to celebrate the best unsigned games across the UK and Europe.
Finalists will take their game to the conference on July 10 and 11, to showcase their work, where attendees can play each entry, and then vote for their favorite as part of the People’s Choice award, and an Overall Winner will get selected by a panel of judges.
Don’t forget your tickets – Develop:Brighton takes place from July 9 to July 11 at the Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel. Also, you can get a cool 10% off tickets with our code, BTPRSP. All you need to do is pop it into the ‘promo code’ box when checking out. Early bird tickets are available until June 5, too, if you want an even better deal.
Here are the ten finalists for this year’s Indie Showcase competition:
- The Horror At Highrook by Nullpointer
- Wax Heads by Patattie Games
- LOK Digital by Icedrop Games & Letibus Design
- BOTSU: Ridiculous Robots by Peculiar Pixels
- Trash Goblin by Spilt Milk Studios
- Into the Restless Ruins by Ant Workshop Ltd
- Pieced Together by Glowfrog Games
- Super Spelling Ducks by Skyle Games
- Dead Meat by Meaning Machine
- Peppered by Mostly Games
We’re excited to try these games, especially Pieced Together when it comes to iOS and Android. Previous winners from the Indie Showcase include Paper Trail by Newfangled Games, You Suck at Parking by Happy Volcano, and Sunless Sea by Failbetter. These are just some of the excellent indie games on Switch.
Press, creators, and fellow developers alike get to see the shortlisted games, and during the final session on July 11, we’ll find out which two games came out on top. The ten finalists get free passes to Develop:Brighton, along with a profile on the site showing off their games, and pre-event publicity.
