IGN Japan’s @nomoredaniels.bsky.social puts forth the best wrap-up of @bitsummit.bsky.social that I’ve read yet. japan-forward.com/gamers-world...

Here is the complete run of opening cinematics from #BitSummit's 13-year history thus far, animated by @jan3d.bsky.social and directed by @milkman.bsky.social (but it's mostly Jan).

A reminder that #BitSummit 14 will take place on May 22~24, 2026. Moving out of the heart of summer to the most beautiful time of year. See you there!

Follow our Youtube channel for video recaps of the event, our CG cinematics made annually by @jan3d.bsky.social, and other fun stuff.

Thank you for joining us in such record numbers this past weekend. We’re still not over it. #BitSummit

Amazing. #BitSummit has been immortalized in Arai Harumaki’s manga デベロッパーズ~ゲーム創作沼へようこそ~ (Developers - Welcome to the Game Creation Swamp) in Kodansha Comics (one of the biggest manga publishers in Japan). This feels really cool to be featured like this. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E6%96%...

If you like Japanese video games, if you like indie video games, if you like #videogames, I recommend following @bitsummit.bsky.social. It won’t update frequently, but when we do it’ll be worth it. It’s the #1 indie game festival in Japan every year. 38,000 attendees this past July, and growing!
