The recent Big Indie Pitch event made its way to Canada, but this time, it wasn’t about the World Cup. Instead, it was a vibrant showcase of creativity and innovation in the gaming industry, featuring an impressive lineup of PC and console games. Sponsored by Xsolla, the Big Indie Pitch at NAGIS provided a platform for indie developers to shine.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, the Big Indie Pitch operates like a speed-dating event for game developers. Each participant is given a concise five minutes to present their game to a rotating panel of industry experts. This format not only allows developers to receive valuable feedback but also offers insights from professionals involved in various aspects of the gaming world, including publishing, scouting, and media. The judges, equipped with their expertise, then select the games they believe demonstrated the most compelling pitch and potential for success.
Meet, greet and play
This dynamic event attracts developers at all stages of their projects, showcasing a diverse array of genres and themes.
