Presentation

"DemoNight"

These are all pre-release games - some are big budget highly anticipated AAA games, some are indie projects of passion that we've never heard of before. All will be presented in real-time (no pre-baked marketing flying throughs allowed) and get approx 7 minutes to show off and be discussed.
