Townseek soars all the way to The Very Big Indie Pitch crown

pcgamesinsider.biz:

After two years, it was finally time for the Big Indie Pitch to return to live in-person pitching, and what better place than Pocket Gamer Connects London 2022, our flagship show. As in the past, this also meant the return of The Very Big Indie Pitch. Our bumper edition of the competition where we open up extra spaces than normal so that even more developers can pitch their games.

This of course meant that we were able to once again highlight an ever-increasing range of brand new and diverse gaming experiences from some of the most exciting indie developers. Developers found not only in the United Kingdom but from all across the globe.

For those not in the know, The Big Indie Pitch is a regular event run by the makers of PocketGamer.biz. It gives indie developers the chance to pitch their games to industry experts and journalists in a speed-dating-style format. Teams get the opportunity to get valuable feedback on their games, as well as win great prizes such as promotional packages and opportunities to promote their game.

As always, the competition was extremely tough with the judges offering up their expertise for all 19 games pitched. In fact, it was so tough that the judges actually ended up with two second-place prizes alongside the overall winner, which this time was Townseek by Whales And Games. A game that eagle-eyed readers will recognise as a recent honourable mention.

All in all, one thing is for sure, all of our finalists, which you can learn more about below, are more than worthy of highlighting, and the pitch marked what can only be described as a fitting return to live pitching.
