And is packed with local talent!
The Melbourne International Games Week (MIGW) Steam Festival — the first for the international event — will kick off this coming Friday, organisers have announced.
Despite being a homegrown event, the MIGW 2021 Steam Festival will begin at the very unfriendly time of 3.00 am AEST on Friday 1 October, finishing up at the equally unfriendly time of 4.00 am AEDT on 5 October (remember: Daylight Savings kicks off in the middle of the event!).
The festival will take place, of course, on Steam.
All up, the MIGW 2021 Steam Festival will offer 16 panels, with “highlight events” as follows:
- Games Made in Victoria featuring Completely Stretchy and Uncomfortably Sticky, Dap, Kardboard Kings, Conscript, JUSTICE SUCKS: Recharged, Spies & Soldiers and Wayward Strand
- Developing JUSTICE SUCKS: Recharged with Cyrian Guillaume, Mitchell Pasmans, Nicholas McDonnell and Winston Tang
- The Music of Knuckle Sandwich and Songs from Video World concerts, performances by beardy and Monster Mansion
- NEXT in (Video Game) Fashion panel with Benjamin Ee, Izzy Gramp, Jenny Windom and Joel Davison
- Every Game in This City: From Escape Rooms to Esports with Alexandra Lee, Chad Toprak, Goldie Bartlett, Harry Shang Lun Lee, Patrick LeMieux, Stephanie Boluk, Will Partin, Yang Jing Allison
Melbourne International Games Week runs over 2-10 October and includes the likes of Big Games Night In, Games for Change, the Australian Game Developer Awards (AGDAs), PAX AUS Online, a free two-day conference on audio design and the Melbourne Queer Games Festival 2021.
