As the Tokyo Game Show 2024 draws near, the spotlight shines brightly on the "Selected Indie 80" program, a pivotal platform for indie developers. Held annually at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, this segment of TGS offers a unique showcase for 80 indie games, highlighting the inventive spirit and creative diversity within the gaming industry.
Program Overview "Selected Indie 80" provides indie developers an invaluable opportunity to exhibit their games at one of the world's most prestigious gaming expos, completely free of charge. The selection criteria emphasize originality and adherence to ethical standards in gaming, ensuring that only the most innovative and ethically sound projects make the cut.
Exhibitor Benefits Participants in the program enjoy a variety of benefits. Each selected developer receives a dedicated booth in the Indie Game Area, access to TGS's business matching system, and significant exposure through the TGS official website and affiliated platforms. This exposure not only enhances their visibility within the industry but also opens doors to potential collaborations and opportunities.
Sense of Wonder Night (SOWN) One of the most anticipated aspects of the "Selected Indie 80" is the "Sense of Wonder Night." This contest showcases games that are expected to make a significant impact on the industry, providing developers with a chance to present their projects in a live broadcast during TGS. It's a testament to the game-changing potential that indie games hold.
In addition to the physical event, TGS2024 will feature the TOKYO GAME SHOW Digital World 2024. Previously known as TOKYO GAME SHOW VR, this rebranded digital venue aims to maximize the promotion of exhibitors through an updated virtual platform. Four exhibit plans—Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze—are available, allowing game-related companies and VR platformers to showcase their 3D assets in an immersive virtual environment.
As TGS2024 approaches, the excitement continues to build. With a vibrant new visual and a theme that promises to trailblaze the world with gaming, this year's event is set to be a landmark in the gaming calendar.
