GDLX 2025 - FREE Showcase!
IMPORTANT, MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS COMPLETELY BEFORE APPLYING.

Thank you for your interest in being part of the GDLX 2025 Showcase in April. 

We are hoping to showcase a wide range of games as well as developers and studios.
This is your chance to put your studio/games forward ahead of these being open to the public!
SHOWCASING WILL BE FREE FOR INDIE DEV STUDIOS!!

What are the requirements?
You can be at any stage of funding or publishing, ideally with a website, and game play footage.
YOU MUST HAVE A CLEAN PLAYABLE DEMO.
The more "Showcase Ready" you are the higher your chances of being selected to showcase.
The showcases will be in person so you will require at least 2 people at your designated station throughout the duration of the event. If you're a solo developer we will have support on hand to help you throughout the day.
(If you're students/graduates/hobbyists or really early stage developers, we will consider your game, fill out as much of the form as possible and contact admin in the GDL discord (link below) , and or email hello@gamedevlocal.com)
For regular GDL updates please join our discord: https://discord.gg/AFntKnaZtF

What happens when I'm selected?
If you are selected to showcase, you will be invited to the GDLX 2025 Discord Server where we will keep everyone upto date on all important information.

Please fill in all of your details below and we will get back to all applicants to let them know they're selected, some time Mid-Late Feb.

If you apply after Feb, we will still try and find spaces for you to showcase!

NOTE: To showcase your game, you will require everything you need to physically showcase, we are always looking to try and provide some equipment, but currently you will need your own monitors and devices. You will need to be able to showcase without WiFi requirements. Again, we are working on being able to upgrade all of these things, but as a precaution we are asking you be fully prepared. This includes promotional materials such as pull-up banners/flyers/business cards ect.

Please let us know if you are happy for you, your team, and/or your game to appear in footage that is branded and shared publicly as both video and audio as a GDL podcast episode, marketing material, and/or other content.
