Which indie games received the honors at Latin America's most well-known game show? We have all the winners right here.
We just returned from Sao Paulo, Brazil, home of the popular indie game show, BIG Festival. Now in its seventh year, the BIG Festival gives indie developers the rare opportunity to schedule meetings with publishers from around the world in order to pitch their games and gain exposure. It’s the sort of event where one meeting can forever change someone’s life. For the rest, it’s a great opportunity to network and get their names an games noticed.
That said, BIG Festival 2019 was by far the best one yet, with more than 70 games available to play from developers around the world.
