Games Wanted for Drop in and Play at DCA

Deadline: Fri 25 April

We’re delighted to announce that our popular gaming event, Drop in and Play, is returning to DCA this May in partnership with Ninja Kiwi – and we’re looking for games to showcase!

Taking place on Sat 31 May from 13:00 to 16:00, visitors will have the chance to play a range of games before they’re widely available, meet game developers, and share their reactions.

For the event, we’re looking for new and unreleased games made in Scotland, and in particular Dundee. Games must be a finished product or a playable prototype and must be suitable for children and young people. 

Applications from individuals, students and small studios are all welcomed: applicants will be expected to supply the computer or device needed to demonstrate their projects. Developers who have previously showcased a game at Drop in and Play may also apply to return. 

Drop in and Play provides a great opportunity for game developers to showcase their work to the public, gather feedback on their games, meet other developers and gain publicity through a range of marketing activities.

Developers interested in taking part should send an email to [javascript protected email address] by Fri 25 April, including the following information: 

  • Name and/or studio name
  • A short description of their game and the intended target age group/audience
  • Links to any relevant resources
  • Social media handle/website if available

 

Drop in and Play is a free DCA gaming event which was first held in November 2012 as part of NEoN Digital Arts Festival and Discovery Film Festival. Our May event is presented in partnership with Ninja Kiwi who have been making awesome games since 2005. Developers of the hit Bloons series of games, Ninja Kiwi are always striving to make the most enjoyable experiences for audiences across the globe from their offices in Dundee, Scotland and Auckland, New Zealand.
