We'll do a better job of pushing a time limit for demos next year, but kid was something to behold, eh? 😆

ONE week already since Vancouver Game Expo🎉

We're still in amazement in how our community came together to celebrate Vancouver's video game scene and make it such a special day! 🍁

The new Vancouver Twitch meetup organizers have asked us to make the following statement. Vancouver Game Connect is: a) not in connection to Twitch; b) not in connection to Twitch Vancouver Community MeetUps; and c) is not the "New Twitch Vancouver" organization. Though we have never claimed any of the above, we hope this clears up any confusion.

hello and welcome to “cool games I played or saw at Vancouver Game Expo,” I am not really a Person Of Note but as far as I have reach I think these are worth sharing, so, in no particular order;

A table with a black table cloth. On the table are two Meta Quest headsets. On the headsets are masks that look like smiling pineapples. Next to the headsets is a laptop with the Fruit Golf key art on it.

We had a blast at the first ever Vancouver Game Expo this weekend 🥳

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and played Fruit Golf!

It's three photos of Josh from a photo booth, the top and bottom ones aren't fully in frame but Josh is holding a stuffy of a Peflin goblin and pointing at it . He has a very disappointed face at whatever he's holding in the bottom picture. But the picture in the middle Josh is wearing red shutter shades and is doing a major gun show flex with his arms, fists clenched inward, mouth wide open. The shutter shades match the red and white kuffieh he's wearing.

Going through all the stuff i got at the @vangameconnect.ca Game Expo and this photo of me at the photo booth is so good.

We couldn't have pulled off Vancouver Game Expo 2025 without these generous sponsors and partners!

A BIG THANKS to them for believing and supporting our event! 💕

IronOak Games booth at Vancouver Game Expo. Two banners book end the clothed table featuring key art of For The King. On the table a laptop and monitor set up with multiple controllers and some miscellaneous fantasy props such as treasure chests.

Vancouver Game Expo was great. Thanks to everyone who dropped by!

Biggest take away for me is that there’s an incredible amount of talent in this city going unused and someone with lots of money should do something about that.

Vancouver Game Expo will return in 2026…

Along with the Games from Vancouver Steam sale!🍁💕

Happy to have a Vancouver convention veteran join us for our first Expo!

Stay tuned as we have some snazzy photos and videos from our talented media team from Vancouver Game Expo 2025 to share with you all soon! 💖

Thank you to everyone who showed up at @vangameconnect.ca for VGX!

We got so much feedback for our demo for Pirouette Princess, and we're so happy to see people enjoying it. There's still a lot of polish to do, but we're hoping for the demo to be available early next year!

Couldn't make it to Vancouver Game Expo?

You can still play demos from plenty of VGX's exhibitors in our Games from Vancouver Steam Sale. Save some coin and get locally-made games on a discount as well!

Sale ends at 10:59 PM PT tonight so don't miss out!

Thanks again for making our first Vancouver Game Expo a huge success! 🎉

We're sending out a feedback survey soon to make next year's event better, but for now, we'd love for you to join our Discord and stay in touch with the community 💖

VGX 2025 was incredible!! Met lots of great folks, had a blast!

As you can plainly see in this photo of me intensely hovering over our Rift of the NecroDancer players hehe 🧛🏻

Exhausted after a long day volunteering. Amazing event supporting local game devs; 40+ games were demo’d and almost 2,000 through the doors. Now time to 😴

We had a fantastic time today at Vancouver Game Expo!

Thanks to all who came by to try For The King II! And a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff and volunteers at VGX who put this great event together. 🫡

So @vangameconnect.ca was very good indeed and I hope this city can keep hosting new games, arts and culture events.

Had such a great adventure yesterday! Went to the vancouvergame expo! @vangameconnect.ca I played so many games, chatted to developers and met some other streamers! This was so fun! My favs were "Insert game here" and "nocturne". The devs were so kind too 💖

It can be a lot!! Hope you got to enjoy the expo at least 🙏

And that is a wrap for Vancouver Game Expo 2025! 🍁💕

Thanks SO MUCH for coming to the Expo and partying it up at our afterparty! 🎉

Grateful that so many of y’all showed up for our first VGX…. And certainly not our last 👀

Our Vancouver Game Expo afterparty has begun! 🎉

Mingle with new friends and try some handcrafted cocktails from Counter Culture Cocktails 🍸

Motherlover A comic about moms in love.

Thrilled to pick up some art at @vangameconnect.ca from @neomeruru.bsky.social & convey my love for lesbian moms. Check out her webcomic Motherlover, now in print from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

It's got moms, it's got figuring out your sexuality. It may be the slowest burn in history. It rules

Thank you all for a lovely time at @vangameconnect.ca ❤️🥰

Thank you so much for our first Vancouver Game Expo! 💕💕💕

The night isn’t over as we’ve still got our afterparty coming up at 730! 🍸

FINAL 10 mins of the Expo! ✨
