Excaliber’s mission is to promote the video game industry, with a particular focus on independent productions. With this in mind, and with the aim of giving as much visibility as possible to initiatives supporting game developers, we are pleased to share information about an interesting travelling initiative: Road Trippa!
Road Trippa is promoted by Retrobottega Culture APS with the aim of supporting and spreading the culture of Italian independent video games. The tour kicks off in Milan on September 12 (Talent Garden Isola, Piazza Città di Lombardia 1, from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM) with Fried Network Booster, the launch event dedicated to networking between developers and industry professionals. Participants will have the opportunity to attend professional talks and workshops, as well as activities organized in collaboration with major companies such as Milestone and Slitherine.
The initiative will then continue across Italy with five additional stops hosted at events within the Hidden Door circuit. Throughout the tour, the selected indie projects will benefit from significant promotional exposure both on site and online. In addition to being showcased and played by tens of thousands of visitors directly at the events, the selected titles will also receive strong digital visibility thanks to the coverage and collaborations established with several industry media partners. Below are the dates for each stop.
- September 19-20: Gigacon Tuscany, Firenze Scandicci
- October 17-18: Como Fun, Erba
- October 24-25: Gigacon Caserta, Caserta
- November 7-8: Gardacon, Montichiari
- November 21-22: Gamics Cesena, Cesena
If you are a developer and would like to be part of this journey, applications are now open. Sign up for the Milan event on September 12 to reserve your spot at Fried Network Booster, and submit your indie game for the chance to join the tour and showcase your project to both the public and industry professionals!
