http://bitsummit.org/1st Annual Japanese Independent Game Developer & Media Summit
Maybe we will finally get all that crazy talent out into the world again.
From the site:
WHAT
Independently-developed games are taking the world by storm. Whether on mobile devices, PC, or console, games created by smaller development teams are capturing as much attention as the giant, triple-A games with multi-million dollar budgets. What independent developers may lack in size or resources they make up for in innovation and inspiration. The Western independent gaming scene has been percolating for years, but so too has Japanese independent development been moving steadily towards the future.
WHY
BitSummit was formed to shine a spotlight on the Japanese development community, and bridge the gap between developers, the media, and platform providers like STEAM. Our goal is to help remove the language and communication obstacles that get in the way of relationship-building moments like this. Attending BitSummit can help small developers make meaningful connections with Western media outlets, while media outlets can enrich the depth of their coverage by discovering a whole new layer of the gaming stratosphere. With special guests like Valve/Steam in attendance, developers can learn first-hand how to navigate the publishing and Greenlight process on the popular gaming platform.
OUR MISSION
Help the independent Japanese video game developer get his work in front of a global audience, in front of a European, Latin American, and North American audience. Help the Western markets learn about, anticipate, and appreciate Japan’s home-grown video games, created by teams as small as a single person, or by teams as big as 50 people
