I went to the global indie game festival ‘2023 Indiecraft The FESTA‘!
‘2023 Indiecraft’, a global indie game festival hosted by Seongnam City and supervised by Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and Korea Mobile Game Association, was supported by a total of 263 small and medium-sized indie game developers, of which 60 were selected as excellent works. It was a great event to choose and exhibit.
In particular, the opening ceremony was attended by Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin, Seongnam City Council Chairman Park Gwang-soon, Korean Game Policy Association President Lee Jae-hong, Korea Mobile Game Association President Hwang Seong-ik, Gachon University Professor Jung Musik, and Korea Game Media Association President Lee Taek-soo, etc. has been added.
Above all, it was significant that many game media actively participated in this event and sincerely supported indie in the Korean game industry. It is no exaggeration to say that the Korean game industry has grown to this extent based on the depth and insight of the Korean game media and sincere affection and support.
Because of this, Lee Taek-soo, president of the Korea Game Media Association, said, “I believe that the sincerity of Korea Game Media, who gathered today to support Korean indie developers, will be fully conveyed to indie developers.”
In addition, “The pain of creation that indie game developers go through and the path of adversity that they must walk silently to impress global users, you who are standing for that path are not wrong, and we are all walking that path together. It is worthwhile,” Professor Musik Jung’s congratulatory speech at the end is expected to leave a lasting impression on indie game developers.
“Indie is the hope of Korean games!”
