Hijacking this, kind of off-topic:
I might have a chance to visit the Tokyo Game Show in September, and I'm wondering if it's worth my time, or will it just be a purely commercial venue with no hands-on experience.
If it's even remotely like the Bitsummit described in the OP then that would be awesome.
Some background: I'm not a gamer, I simply don't have the time to be one, but I'm very interested in gaming news, game engines, and well, games. I also don't know Japanese, unfortunately, I'm just visiting Tokyo for a short time.
Anyone been to a previous Game Show (or a similar big event) and can say if it's worth it?
- ekianjo 3y agoBeen then many times. Depends a lot of you go on business days or public days. Public days will mean long queues and not much time on anything during the day. Business days you can do a lot more and there is a large indie section where you can meet with indies just like at the Bitsummit.
- olvy0 3y agoThanks! since I'll be going on a public day, I'll think if it's worth my time. Maybe I'll go anyway just for the general vibe.
- dgellow 3y agoReading your comment makes me want to visit a “game engine show” :) Not sure what that would look like, but that sounds fun and way more interesting than a gaming show!
- pphysch 3y agoGDC is basically a "game engine show"
- sp3n 3y agoi will be exhibiting my indie game at the Tokyo Game Show in September, even though there will be huge elaborate booths for the massive/AAA studios, i can confirm that there will be a large area dedicated to indie games!
- olvy0 3y agoThank you, that's good to know! Good luck with your presentation!
