Submit Your Game to DevGAMM Gdansk 2023

/

DevGAMM will hold its first conference in Gdańsk, Poland at the AmberExpo on March 1-2.

DevGAMM Gdańsk will be done in collaboration with Digital Vikings, which was born out of an idea of matching indie developers with publishers and investors.

The game developers can already submit games for DevGAMM Showcase, to present their projects to all the attendees, get a booth, invite guests for a play test, and find partners. The submission deadline is January 25.

Moreover, the event program will include the Digital Vikings Awards, which is a brand-new competition for indie game developers. The event will also host The Best Indie Publisher of 2022 award. The developers will compete in 6 categories:

Best Indie Game Awards
Most Anticipated Indie Game
Best Multiplayer Co-op
Hidden Gem
Best Solo-Dev Game
Best Art Style

The winners will be announced during DevGAMM Gdańsk 2023 on March 2. Submit your game until January 25.

The event will gather game industry professionals for networking, sessions, new games lineup, career opportunities, and three parties.

If you can't make it to Gdańsk, check out a new Online Networking ticket to access the attendees list and schedule virtual calls. There’s a special ticket type for small indie teams as well.

IGDA Finland members get 15% off tickets when using promocode: DG_IGDA_15

Tickets are on sale and available on the website.

Last Call for the Big Indie Pitch

/

Attention Indie Developers: Are you currently working on a new mobile, smartwatch, or handheld game?

The Mobile edition of the Very Big Indie Pitch will take place at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki on Tuesday September 27th from 14:00-17:00. This unique speed dating format gives each developer five minutes (including Q&A) with each panel of experts, meaning all entrants will get feedback in real-time and post-event via email too. Think speed-dating for developers and experts, and you get the idea.

The basic criteria:

  • You can pitch games for Mobile, Mobile VR and AR

  • You can pitch your game even if you’ve pitched it at a previous BIP

  • They prefer to see unreleased games, though we’re happy to see games that are out too

  • They allow studios with a max of 12 members to enter the Big Indie Pitch (this includes the staff of any partners you are working with)

The deadline for submissions is September 16th.
