How to showcase your indie game at events.

🎮 Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of showcasing Astro Burn at multiple events—standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some truly inspiring indie developers. Each event has been a crash course in what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to presenting your game to players, press, and potential publishers.

That’s why I put together a new video: a step-by-step guide for indie devs on how to set up your showcase—whether you’re at a small local expo or a massive international stage like Gamescom, GDC, Develop, PAX, or EGX.

Inside the video, I break down:

✨ Indie Booth setup essentials – what to bring, what to leave behind, and how to stand out on a busy show floor.

✨ The right gear – from monitors to controllers, the equipment that makes a difference.

✨ Player experience design – how to make your demo accessible, engaging, and unforgettable.

✨ Merch– tips to make sure the right people take notice of your game.

✨ Lessons learned the hard way – practical advice only a solo developer on the road would know.

💡 If you’re preparing to show off your indie game soon, these insights could save you time, money, and stress—while helping your showcase shine.
