KRAFTON India will be present at IGDC 2024, and the team is going to spotlight new games and support indie game developers.
KRAFTON India, the team behind popular games like BGMI, is ready to make a big splash at the India Game Developer Conference (IGDC) 2024. This event, happening from November 13th to 15th at Hyderabad’s HICC, Novotel Convention Centre, is set to be a big deal for the gaming community in India. KRAFTON is planning to show off new games and help young game developers take their ideas to the next level.
Krafton at IGDC and their New Games
At IGDC, KRAFTON India will have its own booth where fans and gamers can check out some of their upcoming titles. There’s a lot of excitement around a game called Bullet Echo India, which will be one of the main highlights. Fans can play it before anyone else, which makes it pretty exciting for those who want a sneak peek.
But it’s not just about KRAFTON’s games. They’ll also be featuring games made by indie developers who joined KRAFTON’s special program for new talent, the KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI). These new games have interesting titles like Sojourn Past, Spice Secrets, Tale of Honour, and Gangster Carnival. For many, it’s the first time they’re getting a chance to show their work to a bigger crowd. KRAFTON wants to give these indie developers a space to share their games with the world.
KIGI Pitch Fest: A Big Chance for Indie Developers
KRAFTON isn’t just showing off games; they’re also actively supporting new developers with their KIGI Pitch Fest. So, what’s a pitch fest? Imagine it as a chance for young developers to present their ideas to experienced people in the industry. If these ideas catch the eye of the experts, these indie developers might get picked for KIGI’s second batch.
Being part of KIGI is a big deal because KRAFTON helps with mentorship, funding, and even tools to build better games. Basically, KRAFTON wants to give indie developers a boost so they can make awesome games that might even go global someday. This is a huge opportunity for small studios and solo developers who have big dreams but need a little help to get there.
