The Philippine Gamedev Expo (PGDX) continues to reshape the indie game landscape—connecting developers with publishers and investors. Deals are happening on the show floor. Real opportunities are materializing. And momentum is building fast. For independent creators, PGDX is quickly becoming one of the most important gaming expos in Southeast Asia, offering access to industry decision-makers and real publishing pathways.
Enduins Brings Indie Dev Spotlight to PGDX
This year, Enduins will introduce its Indie Dev Spotlight on-site at PGDX. The segment isn’t just a stage—it’s a platform built to tell developer stories, showcase gameplay, and help studios connect with audiences and publishers alike. By giving indie creators a voice and visual platform, Enduins is making sure no promising game goes unnoticed.
Why This Matters to the Game Dev Scene
The impact is tangible. Indie teams are walking away from PGDX with leads, media coverage, and in some cases, publishing contracts. This kind of exposure gives developers more than just attention—it gives them a pipeline for success. With publishers actively scouting and investors attending in greater numbers, PGDX is evolving into more than a showcase—it’s a business launchpad.
Recent Success: “Blood Breaker” and “Excalibur”
A perfect example of PGDX’s impact is Blood Breaker: Labyrinth of the Witch, a Filipino-developed title that landed a publishing deal with SoftSource. After being showcased at PGDX 2024, the game caught attention from publishers during the live demo segments and sealed the deal shortly after. Stories like this show exactly how powerful a focused presence at PGDX can be—especially when paired with support from platforms like Enduins’ Spotlight.
What’s Coming for PGDX 2025
PGDX 2025 is set to take place from July 25 to 27 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. This year’s event includes a ₱100,000 cash prize for indie game showcases, expanded B2B meeting areas, workshops, live streams, and more international participation. For developers, this means more opportunities to pitch, network, and grow. Enduins will, of course, be present at the event, not just for the Indie Dev Spotlight, but to cover everything that will be happening at PGDX. For more visit Enduin’s website and PGDX website.
