Gen Con Indie Cavalcade!

The Indie Cavalcade returns for Gen Con 2016! As one of the largest and most sprawling game conventions in the world, Gen Con has no shortage of gaming-related activities to check out. At the center of this four day convention is its Expo Hall with a massive list of over 500 vendor, retailer and publisher booths. So if you’ve heard of a publisher, they’ll be listed, right?

GenConWell, not necessarily. For one, Gen Con booths aren’t cheap, and not everyone is able to (or willing) to spend the money to get their name on a booth directly. This leads to booth sharing or publishers who aren’t even located in the Expo Floor.

And then there are upcoming indie games.

Hidden beyond the the Expo Floor map lies a loose network of dozens of indie game designers at the convention whose game hasn’t even been published yet but who would love to show their game off all the same. From organized demo times at places like First Exposure Hall to guerilla-style demos upon request, these games exist. Finding them, on the other hand, is tricky.

To help with that, we have posted the information below of various indie designers or studios, such where you can find them, info on the games, and how you can contact them about demos.

We’ve also provided a publisher Lost & Found, a handy reference list for where unlisted publishers can be found on the Expo floor.

 

With what little time and resources we had, we present a decent list of many of the games we were able to find that were reported to us. We hope you find this useful.

Note 1: Unfortunately, the complete First Exposure Hall List did not make it to us in time to be added to the Cavalcade properly. However, you may see the entire list of games in the First Exposure Hall by looking at this PDF. Enjoy!

Note 2: The live filter appears to be malfunctioning. We’re working on it.
