Development might have been democratized, but discovery is still a problem in the games industry. Thankfully the biggest marketplace for PC games Valve is leading the charge to ensure you don’t need a ridiculous marketing budget to make sure your game gets seen!
The Steam Next Fest, the triannual event that allows developers big and small a chance to catch the eyes of potential customers for a full week. Live streams featuring developers discussing their craft, hundreds of demos are available for you to peruse, sorted by genre to make discovery a lot easier. In fact some titles that I’m looking forward to testing out include, Realm of Ink, Deathbound, Bullfighter NEON, CYGNI: All Guns Blazing and Hell, I might even sample some demos that I can’t cover on this very site itself, Ooh la la!
