Are you an indie developer? Are you currently working on a new PC or console game?
If you’ve nodded twice you are hereby encouraged to attend our digital Big Indie Pitch, which is taking place during PG Connects Digital NEXT in November 2021.
A Big Indie Pitch sees indie developers engage in a speed-dating-styled pitching competition for fame (oh, and one of our bespoke promotional packages worth thousands of dollars).
It’s a fun but hotly contested event that has proved a genuine game-changer for teams in the past. We used to just invite mobile or handheld developers to take part, but since 2018 we’ve been accepting PC and console pitches too. You can get a pretty decent lowdown here.
The PC & Console Big Indie Pitch will take place on Tuesday, November 16, from 3:00pm – 6:00pm (UK Time).
Interested but unsure if you qualify? Got some questions? This should help:
- You can pitch games for PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox, Switch, any non-mobile VR platform. (Working on a game for another platform we haven’t mentioned? Email us to see if it’s eligible. Mobile developers go here.)
- You can pitch your game even if you’ve pitched it at a previous Big Indie Pitch event.
- We prefer to see unreleased games, though we’re happy to see games that are just out too.
- Each successful applicant gets two free PG Connects Digital NEXT developer passes.
- Even if your application is not successful you’ll still get a discount!
- Deadline for entries is midnight Friday November 5, 2021 – but places fill up so the sooner, the better (entry details below).
SUBMISSIONS
If you’re good to go then submit your details and game here – the earlier, the better.
All submissions will be notified if they are successful in their application to pitch at the event.
