Description

Indie developers, do you have a WIP or recently-released game you want to show off during GDC? Join us at Buzzworks to demo your project to a crowd of enthusiastic independent game developers in a relaxed environment! The Sub-Zero Sound team are putting down their microphones and putting on an exciting indie game demo night early in the GDC 2023 week. Join us on Tuesday night and be the first to check out the unique games that indie developers from all over the world are working on! Indie devs bringing a game, this is a great way to get your project in front of devs, publishers, and game industry professionals of all flavours from around the world! Everyone else, this is a great chance to check out some unique indie titles in a chill setting, so come by for a drink or two and make your way through the range of botique games on show! Relaxed vibes, craft beers, and plenty of devs to mingle with! No loud party/club music, but a packed bar is still loud, so if you want players to be able to hear your game, please ensure you bring headphones. Buzzworks is located on 11th street, a short Uber/Lyft or a 25 min walk from the Moscone, and has plenty of craft beers on tap, as well as ciders, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks! Although the event says it wraps up at 10pm, we'll keep demoing games until the bar kicks us out, so make sure to come by early to make the most of the night! This is a 21+ event. Drinks can be purchased from the bar and external food can be brought into the venue. WHAT GAME CAN I BRING?All indie games, regardless of platform or genre, are welcome.
