Valve has just announced the start date for the next Steam Next Fest event in June. Known previously as the Steam Game Festival before it was renamed last year, Steam Next Fest puts the spotlight on indie developers by showcasing their latest projects with free demos and livestreams with the talented creators behind them. Hundreds of PC indie games are shown off at these week-long Steam Next Fest events, all providing gamers with a chance to check out some of Steam's smaller-scale offerings that they might not have discovered otherwise.
The last Steam Next Fest event was held quite recently, with up to 600 free demos being offered up on Steam at the end of February. The most popular and noteworthy among the many titles sampled during Febuary's Steam Next Fest showcase included Golfie, a deck-building mini-golf simulator that tasks players with using special cards to pull off seemingly impossible trick shots, an RTS colony simulator titled The Wandering Village, and Kao the Kangaroo, a colorful throwback to the anthropomorphic 3D platformers of the early 2000s. These are just a few of the many free demos offered up during last month’s Steam Next Fest, and now it appears that Valve is ready to shine a light on the indie PC gaming scene once again later this year.
