PAX Australia may not be going ahead as an in-person event in 2021 (a massive bummer), but that hasn’t stopped the PAX team from offering a digital event, with PAX Online running between October 8-10.
One of PAX’s biggest drawcards is that it allows critics and punters the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of Australia’s talented indie developers and go hands-on with their games. Every PAX, a hand-picked collection of promising looking indies are chosen to be a part of the Indie Showcase, giving both the games and developers some extra exposure.
Despite PAX Australia being an online event, it wouldn’t be PAX without the Indie Showcase, which is why PAX Australia has announced the winners for 2021’s Indie Showcase.
A Township Tale – Alta (NSW)
Blueberry – Mellow Games (QLD)
CONSCRIPT – Jordan Mochi (VIC)
Innchanted – Dragon Bear Studios (VIC)
Mars First Logistics – Ian MacLarty (VIC)
Vault of the Void – Spider Nest Games (QLD)
Furthermore, in a PAX first, the event has extended the Indie Showcase to tabletop gaming, with this year’s winners below:
DRiFT – James Allen (NSW)
Floating Floors – Guf Studios (VIC)
Kingless – Two19 (TAS)
Letter Drop – Cutlass Boardgames (NSW)
A big shoutout to all the winners!
