IndieDevDay 2024 closed its second edition in Barcelona with 15,000 visitors and showed a substantial growth in areas like international visitors, professional visitors, and students, consolidating itself as the landmark video game trade show in the south of Europe.
On the showfloor in La Farga de l'Hospitalet, visitors were able to discover more than 200 games from 170 development studios and 40 publishers, attend to more than 50 talks and panels, including the presentation of Hotel Barcelona, the latest game by Japanese cult developer SWERY, who attended the event and took place in a Q&A with fans.
Other activities that garnered lot of interest were the chance to meet Kenney, Kay Lousberg and Anhyra Cosplay, the artist Laurielle (who made the official poster of the show) as well as Borislav Slavov, BAFTA winner and music composer of Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 (by Larian Studios), with a Q&A hosted by our own David Caballero.
Larian Studios, alongside Generalitat de Catalunya's Digital Culture Department, celebrated the job fair TalentDevDay, which resulted in more than 700 interviews between students and professionals.
Gamereactor was there as official media partner and brought back 25+ interviews covering a selection of the very best indie and AA games being showcased. You can find our daily-updated IndieDevDay 2024 coverage here.
