“We're delighted to be partnering with a wealth of talented creators and developers for this year's Convergence Showcase. The ongoing goal for Convergence is to support the discovery of great new games in an increasingly overcrowded market, and this unique showcase plays a critical part in our year-round efforts. Each of our creator partners has a long history of championing indie games and their developers, so they are perfect ambassadors for the initiative. We're excited to be building an event that’s as much for the viewers as it is for the featured creators and developers,” said Rich Keith, CEO of Fourth Floor.
As part of its ongoing mission to not only support indie games, but also celebrate the talent behind them, Convergence launched The Convergence Podcast. Each episode brings together two indie game creators and invites them to candidly share their journeys, their experiences and their advice for the next wave of indie developers. Hosted by Dan Maher, it features never-before-seen combinations of industry names who will provide rare insights into the game-making process.
Also streaming this year’s showcase are dozens of co-streamers, who are hosting Convergence watch parties for their communities. For any creators wishing to participate in the co-streaming programme, applications are still open: https://www.convergenceshowcase.com/co-streaming.
