Last Call for the Big Indie Pitch

/

Attention Indie Developers: Are you currently working on a new mobile, smartwatch, or handheld game?

The Mobile edition of the Very Big Indie Pitch will take place at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki on Tuesday September 27th from 14:00-17:00. This unique speed dating format gives each developer five minutes (including Q&A) with each panel of experts, meaning all entrants will get feedback in real-time and post-event via email too. Think speed-dating for developers and experts, and you get the idea.

The basic criteria:

  • You can pitch games for Mobile, Mobile VR and AR

  • You can pitch your game even if you’ve pitched it at a previous BIP

  • They prefer to see unreleased games, though we’re happy to see games that are out too

  • They allow studios with a max of 12 members to enter the Big Indie Pitch (this includes the staff of any partners you are working with)

The deadline for submissions is September 16th.
