Rezzed - The PC and Indie Games Show - Brighton 2012 | Presented by Eurogamer.net and Rock, Paper, Shotgun. About | Indie Games Expo. In Brief: Indie Games Expo represents an opportunity to engage the emerging medium of Video Games as it enters the furore of 21st Century culture. Mainstream videogames have a reputation for being multimillion dollar, homoerotic gore-fests – and this is largely what they are. But after hours and behind the scenes, programmers and artists work on the kind of games that the juggernaut publishers fail to heed. At their best, the results are brilliantly innovative puzzles and tricky genre-less devices, built to amaze, disorient and surprise hardened gamers that have tired of the conventional offerings.
This EXPO will focus on independent games that achieve expressivity and depth of a kind that is profound and unique to the videogame medium and demonstrate how videogames have arrived in the cultural landscape with something that is entirely their own. Further information on the Expo: The reasons for maintaining an independence from such structures are varied. V22 as a venue: Selection of games: Develop Conference in Brighton. The ever popular Indie Dev Day returns for the fourth year in 2014. It’s a day-long conference track with networking events taking place on Thursday 10 July, designed specifically for established independent studios, new start-ups, developers teetering on the brink of becoming an indie, freelance developers and students. And as part of the Indie Dev focus, we’re also running The Indie Showcase again from 9 - 10 July in the Develop Expo – which will feature 10 independently developed games unpublished by a third party, shortlisted by a panel of experts.
Delegates will have the chance to play all the games on display, and one of these games will go on to be judged overall Indie Showcase winner by our panel. All delegates will have a chance to vote for their favourite game in the Showcase via a "People's Choice" ballot at the event. The 2013 Indie Showcase Winners were: Gamecity.org.
