SUGOI 2025 | Game Submission Form S-video Ultra-64 Gameboy Object Icon Showcase 2025, or, as we like to call it, SUGOI 2025 is the showcase for indie games that are… well, sugoi. We’re here to lift up indie games that defy expectations and challenge the norm, that are terribly amazing. What is SUGOI? SUGOI 2025 is a digital showcase that aims to explore what happens when games go off the rails. It aims to showcase indie games that take what we know and twist it into something new, exciting or just plain odd. If your game does something like that, it could be a perfect fit for the showcase. Your game must: Be terribly amazing, or just so sugoi it defies logic and expectations. Be available or planned to be released on PC, though we’re open to console availability too. Be either in development with a release window in the next 12 months, or recently launched (within the last 4 months). Bring something new to the table, whether that’s through gameplay, theme, art style, or just sheer weirdness. Additional Requirements To participate, you’ll need to submit a trailer for the showcase, but video content will only be required later for games that receive a confirmation email. Your game shouldn't use any sort of generative AI. Keep it human πŸ–– Event Details Submission Deadline: February 20th, 2025 Participation Cofirmation: February 24th, 2025 Event Date: March 27th, 2025 A Steam Event Page is planned for this showcase.

yes! and it’s such a difficult thing to discuss because it feels like a choice between getting no β€œbig media” representation at all or getting bad representation 🫣 like, there’s gotta be a better way!

Emilia Perez just won several Golden Globes and the director didn’t even bother mentioning Mexico, drug cartel victims, or anything related to the trans community (other than shouting out Karla Sofia Gascon). This is an awful celebration of cultural appropriation and exploitation.

Sorry the rejection email seemed smarmy, definitely wasn’t the intention. We thought adding games not in the showcase to other vids to be posted the day of the event would be a nice way to give attention to all games 🫣

Hey there! I’m one of the organizers and definitely part of the industry lol and well yeah… we are a little bit overwhelmed ha we thought we would have to hit up all our connections to get even 30 games together for the event! Luckily it wasn’t so!

Hot take: movies, films, books, and especially games can be reviewed at any time.

There will always be one person who hasn’t heard of it, and you can still influence by sharing your POV. The rat race can be difficult, but people discover new things all the time and thus they’ll discover you.

Hi everyone! We’re the team behind Runeomicon, a tower defense where you're a dark summoner casting runes to bring forth the goddess of death... but the villagers won't let you complete the ritual!

Into the HIVE! has been quite controversial - especially that ending 😱 -, but it's good to see that the general reception has been fantastic!
