Bitsummit's 7th edition just wrapped up. For those unaware Bitsummit is an indie game festival in Kyoto, Japan.
It's no E3 but there's always cool stuff to be found there
A whole bunch of games from all over the world got featured on the show floor but also on Twitch and Youtube streams so I'll do my best to show them off here in a somewhat organized fashion. Videos often include trailers and some more gameplay footage along with developer interviews, single sentence descriptions are my own so don't let them discourage you from checking something out, they're just here to give you an idea of what you're about to see.
Batbarian, a classic 2D platformer with a twist
Bones'n'Bullets, a retro inspired run&gun
Bug Fables, a Paper Mario style aventure in a tiny tiny world of bugs
Cube Garden, a whimsical puzzle game somewhat similar to Monument Valley.
Giraffe and Annika, cat-people, photography and lots of dancing I don't even...
Hamsterdam, save the world (nd your grandpa) from nasty Chinchilla and his rat thugs.
Helvetii, a 2D action game with some exploration elements akin to metroidvanias
Melon Journey 2, looks to be a quirky adventure game in style of Earthbound but with a GameBoy aesthetic
Minoria, long awaited follow-up to the Momodora series
MO:Astray, Ori-like I guess? Equally beautiful but in a different style.
PHOGS, what if Noby Noby Boy had objectives?
Redout: Space Assault, followup to a racing game that's a space combat thing.
Remember Us, a chibi voxel-based adventure game
Renaine, a 2d pixelart platformer
RPG Time, a game about a boy who wants to make a game.
Smelter, a real-time strategy action platformer hybrid inspired by Actraiser.
Subscribe My Adventure, a mix of RPG and social media
Super Retromaker, it's exactly what you think it is
Tactical Galactical, an RTS built for controllers.
Tale of Ronin, very stylized game about wandering the land of Japan as a group of ronin.
Virgo vs The Zodiac, a cute lo-fi JRPG
no english name for now, physics-based party game involving erasers and all kinds of school items
These are by no means all the games from the show so you might still come across something missing from this thread. Some of the games already have Steam pages so you might be able to wishlist them there.
There were also a bunch of main stage panels and interviews available here
List of all the games is available on the official website
