    After that, on Festival Day, various events such as ‘Sticker Big Go Event’ and ‘BIC OX Quiz’ were held in which general visitors directly participated, providing sights and entertainment at the same time. In particular, events using ‘Zone’, the representative character of ‘BIC Festival’, such as ‘Defeat the Zone’ and ‘Zone Indie Special LIVE’, received a great response.

    At the closing ceremony held on the 4th, this year’s BIC Awards ceremony was held together. First of all, this year’s ‘Grand Prix’ in the general category was awarded to Nerial’s ‘Card Shark’, and for the rookie category, ‘Rising Star’ was named by Ixrix’s ‘Shambles’.

    For gamers who remain disappointed even after the offline event, the ‘BIC Festival’ will extend the online exhibition period until September 30 this year as well as last year. Visitors who want to enjoy each piece more relaxedly can play each exhibition by purchasing an online ticket through the official BIC website.

    Tae-Gon Seo, chairman of the Busan Indie Connect Festival organizing committee, said, “I am very happy that this BIC Festival can reproduce the pre-Corona state and become a window of harmony between indie game developers, gamers and industry officials. It is very impressive to be able to check the current status of the indie game industry that is going out. The BIC Festival will also continue to grow and contribute to the spread of the global indie game culture.”

    Jung Moon-seop, director of the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency, said, “I would like to thank all the general visitors who visited again after 3 years, as well as the sponsors and developers who ran the exhibition for 4 days. He said, “Through this event, I was able to confirm the direction and potential of the latest indie game market, and I will do my best to make the BIC Festival a foothold for the indie game industry to grow in the future.”

    Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency is operating the Busan Global Game Center with the support of Busan Metropolitan City, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Korea Creative Content Agency to foster the game industry in Busan. Together with the organizing committee, the BIC Festival is held every year.
