We’re not even close to the summer gaming showcase season yet, and already the first two months of the year have wasted no time in dropping numerous livestreams and broadcasts lately. You can add Black Voices In Gaming to the list, as this showcase has just wrapped up. A celebration of games in development by Black indie game developers across the world, BVIG didn’t have any new reveals. Still, it did serve as a reminder of just how many cool projects are currently in development. The showcase also highlighted the terrific music behind these games, and in case you missed it, we’ve rounded up everything that was shown off today.
The Indie Fan Fest also showed off plenty of upcoming games that look like a breath of fresh air from your usual AAA release, and looking ahead, the next big showcase event will be the Future Games Show: Spring Showcase on March 12.
