Deadline for the 2026 Indie Showcase is tonight at midnight!
At Develop:Brighton each year there's a dedicated area within the Expo called the Indie Showcase, featuring 10 independently developed games that have been shortlisted by a panel of industry experts.
One of these 10 games will be judged overall Indie Showcase Winner by the judging panel and there will also be the chance for attendees to vote for their favourite game during the event in the People's Choice Award.
Our 2026 conference programme is now LIVE! We've got something for everyone.
