As the year begins to wind down, we're sharing highlights of showcases from the past few months and earlier this year.
LA Comic Con
After a very positive experience on the LA Comic Con show floor last year, we had many playable games on the show floor and fun throughout the weekend again this year, along with a mini artist's alley focusing on game industry creatives. Check out all of the amazing games from The MIX at LA Comic Con here.
Indie Horror Showcase
The MIX partnered with DreadXP and HorrorVisuals for the first time on the Indie Horror Showcase with world premiere announcements, trailers, and new updates for some of the most anticipated video games in the horror genre, frighteningly hosted by The MIX's Justin Woodward.
Poznan Game Arena
Some of the world's best games come from central and eastern Europe and this MIX online showcase helped celebrate this region, its developers and games. The MIX partnered with the Poznan Game Arena team for our first online showcase with this team. Poznan Game Arena is the largest show of its kind for Central and Eastern Europe, soon approaching its 20th year. Justin also co-hosted this year's Central & Eastern European Game Awards with Olena Kolikhova.
Black Voices in Gaming | Dames 4 Games
Along with ongoing Black Voices in Gaming showcases and initiatives, the Dames 4 Games series kicked off this year, focusing on women in the game industry.
Black Voices in Gaming launched the Xperience Excellence Accelerator with Netflix combining industry education, networking, and funding for Black game developers. Details here.
Dames 4 Games founder Destinee Cleveland hosted and produced the very first showcase focusing on women in the game industry this June, followed by another amazing showcase in August.
