Taipei Game Show

Taipei Game Show once again led Taiwan indie teams overseas to showcase in GameStart Asia, Singapore and E-Sport and Gaming Summit (ESGS), Philippines to improving the visibility of indie games from Taiwan. Besides actively interacting with foreign business buyers and other developers, we also received valuable game-development feedback from local media.
