Hello! ShideoDev here.

So, I wanted to talk about a very cool travel I made in these three days.

I was in Bologna (Italy), where I attended a convention called Svilupparty. It’s an exhibition for italian indie developers, for everyone who wants to try out their free demos!

I was there, not in my “developer supersuit”, but in INCOGNITO mode, to test the social setting and the community, and the most important thing: the developers’ passion.

Sadly, I couldn’t test every single demo that it was shown there, but I did try some cool videogames and wishlisted them.

I wanted to take the opportunity of having a some feedback here on GameJolt, to talk about these new games I tried at this beautiful event, and maybe give you some advices on what to play if you have some spare time.

Just to explain, I’m doing this because, as a developer, I know how hard it is to show your new indie game to a community. I talked with some of the developers that explained their projects at the event, who have agreed to let me write a couple of positive comments about their games here, on my account.

In the next days, I will talk about those games.

I will tell you about the mechanics (without spoilers!), how they made me feel and why they were beautifully made.

→ Keep in mind that the things I will write are my personal opinions on the indie games I tested, and they absolutely don’t refer at some sort of “absolute truth” about the games.

This means that if you’ll try them, you obviously may feel something different, and is up to you to decide if what I’ll write also applies to your perception or not.
