It’s that wonderful time of year again when you start thinking endlessly about what the new @indiearenabooth.de Theme 2026 might sound like at #gamescom - this year. Let start with an evil Tambourine!!!!! @jutetotal.bsky.social #vgm #videogamemusic #indiegames #gamedev #indiemusic #videogames

I'm proud to be a jury member for this years @indiearenabooth.de lineup for @gamescomdev.bsky.social <3 <3 SUMBISSIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL 13APR2026 #indiegamedev #indiegames #gamedev #gamescom

In 2026, the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW will once again showcase five games from companies in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) at the Indie Arena Booth (IAB) at gamescom. Interested companies can now apply. @indiearenabooth.de www.gamesmarket.global/film-und-med...

Looking forward to seeing all the awesome indies at Gamescom!

Your chance to show off your #indiegame at gamescom 2026 in Germany. #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev Go check it out 👇

If you want to showcase your game at Gamescom IAB is the perfect place to do it !

The Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb), returns to Indie Arena Booth with a dedicated space under the theme “Democracy at Play.” The booth highlights games that explore democratic values, civic participation, and political systems through games. Apply now for the chance to win a free spot!

Reminder that @indiearenabooth.de is now about 100 times the size of its original #gamescom 2013 footprint. Based on my reliable projections, it will have grown enough to change the moon orbit in 2045 and will eventually collapse unto itself to form a black hole by 2070. Worth it. P.S:: Apply!
