Pretty accurate tbh

If you make games, talk about or promote them, you need to be at #DGF26 - Send us a message and let’s make it happen!

The UK’s biggest gathering of indie developers? Join us in making history this April 🔥

This is our first time running #DGF26, which builds on the popular @debugawards.com events in 2024 and 2025

If you enjoyed those, this turns it up to 11 - and beyond. We recently confirmed our 100th exhibitor, so there will be virtually endless games to experience

Sounding good so far? Take a look at gamesfestival.co.uk for the full lineup, tickets, and information about exhibiting

Hand-picked traders with human-made products

We don’t allow the sale of art and merchandise made using AI. Unfortunately something which has infected many large scale expos in recent years

Plus, we have deliberately ensured no two stalls are selling the same thing

Most game showcase space is completely free

Plus, we provide screens at zero-cost, making it easier for developers to get to the event

Hop on a train with your Steamdeck, and you’re set!

Large-scale booths are also available for bigger studios…

Tickets are super affordable

We own all of our equipment, so we don’t have huge rental costs to offset

Hundreds of monitors, large-format screens, PC hardware, cameras, streaming hardware, furniture, and more

And profit has never been a motive in our three-year history. It’s all about the games

We feel you there

Vince’s first piece as Features Editor graces the cover of Debug #13 - out tomorrow. A sharp, in depth look at the video game adaptation of comic book I Hate This Place.

Welcome to the Debug family, Vince!

Caption 🤦‍♂️

We'll always be available online, but a surprising number of people want to pick up the magazine in person... And honestly? We can't blame them

We’ll be back 8pm on Thursday 😊

Very low tech but looks pretty cool actually!
