The Quiet Things secures the Very Big Indie Pitch London win for Silver Script Games

pcgamesinsider.biz:

With a track room devoted to PC and console content, the Big Screen Gaming Summit, PG Connects returned to London for its first event of 2025. The conference provided its traditional networking opportunities, many fantastic talks, panels, and active fringe events, including Investor Connector, Publisher SpeedMatch and, of course, the Very Big Indie Pitch.

The conference welcomed over 2,600 registrations from 66 countries across six continents, making this year's event even bigger than before. PG Connects London was full of excitement and vibrance, especially when it came to this year's pitch. 

The Very Big Indie Pitch, the popular game pitching competition, was this time divided into two days, one for PC and one for mobile. Developers battled it out to see which games caught the eyes of our panel of experts. The pitchers had only five minutes to impress each judge before moving on to the next table. It's like indie game speed dating, rapidly switching from judge to judge. With a wide variety of games and genres, along with business models, there was a lot for judges to take into consideration.

After the pitch, our judges got together to deliberate, providing tons of valuable feedback on the games and pitch style. Each developer received feedback, but only three games made it to the top - and of those, only one game swiped the legendary Golden Baseball Bat. 

For this specific Very Big Indie Pitch, we saw 17 indie developers pitch to our judges. There was a massive variety, from story-driven games through puzzles to retro titles.
