So, uh, was watching @goodluckhavefundontdie with the fam tonight, and the this banger drops 3/4 of the way through the movie. Director Gore Verbinski and screenwriter Matthew Robinson slipped in an obscure little reference to @BitSummit . Every single person in my living room jumped off their couch and was like WHAT?! So yeah, that was awesome. I already bought the film digitally, but now I’m 1000% buying the 4K blu-ray when it drops on April 17th. How amazing is that? Reminder: #BitSummit hits this May. No need to turn to crime to get in.
KYOTO. THE GAMING CONVENTION.

The official #BitSummit shirt’s glow in the dark capabilities, tested in a highly scientific, forensic lab (laundry room) using precision instruments (iPhone flashlight) to gauge just how powerful the shirt’s glow-power is. As with all things @editmode_kyoto produces, the printing *and* the staying power of the GITD ink is quality, with the glow maintaining itself while we allowed the iPhone to focus in the dark on the illuminated properties of the shirt. The only way to get a BitSummit shirt is at the event itself. #BitSummit2026 in May of next year is your next chance!
公式 #BitSummit シャツの暗闇で光る機能は、高度な科学的な法医学実験室（洗濯室）で、精密な測定機器（iPhoneのフラッシュライト）を使用して、シャツの光りの強さを測定しました。 @editmode_kyoto が手掛けるすべての製品同様、プリントの品質とGITDインクの持続力は抜群で、iPhoneを暗闇でシャツの光る部分に焦点を合わせても、光り続ける性能を維持しています。BitSummit Tシャツを入手できるのはイベント会場のみです。次回の#BitSummit2026は来年の5月、お見逃しなく！
Two years ago #BitSummit had 26,000 visitors. Last year we had 38,000+ attendees, very close to 40K. We hoped we’d break that mark this year, and maybe even get close to 50,000 game fans joining us for our best-ever lineup of @nobuo_uematsu_official , @profskmt , @chiptanaka , @takaya.imamura_64 , @okanp2024 , @hidekikamiya_insta , @ayabekaz , @yosp_shuhei.yoshida , Yuzo Koshiro and others. But no, you had to go and shatter the ceiling, with nearly 60,000 game-loving people descending on the @miyakomesse this past weekend to celebrate indie games.
Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm. We are a small staff of people who do this to celebrate indie games from Japan and around the world. You are part of the movement and momentum of BitSummit and we appreciate you so much. See you in #Kyoto next May 2026 for BitSummit 14.
2年前のBitSummitには2万6千人が来場しました。去年は3万8千人を超え、4万人目前という盛り上がり。
今年はそれを上回りたいと思っていました。@nobuo_uematsu_official さん、@profskmt さん、@chiptanaka さん、 @takaya.imamura_64 さん、@okanp2024 さん、@hidekikamiya_insta さん、@ayabekaz さん、@yosp_shuhei.yoshida さん、そして古代祐三さんなど、とんでもない顔ぶれが集まってくれて、5万人いけば最高だなと期待していたんですが・・・
ふたを開けてみたら、まさかの6万人。先週末、@miyakomesse に全国からゲーム好きが大集合し、インディーゲームへの愛で会場はパンパンでした。
応援してくれたみなさん、本当にありがとうございます。私たちは、小さなチームでこのイベントを運営していますが、日本中、そして世界中のインディーゲームを盛り上げたいという思いで続けています。BitSummitがここまで来られたのは、間違いなくみなさんのおかげです。
来年5月のBitSummit 14で、またお会いできるのを楽しみにしてます。🙇♂️🙇🙇♀️
