After a successful debut last year, former Q-Games producer James Mielke once again shone a light on Japan's independent gaming scene with the second edition of BitSummit, a gathering of independent developers.
This year's event, held March 7-9 in a large exhibition hall at Kyoto's Miyako Messe, had more than 100 developers in attendance.
"I think BitSummit is a really amazing event," said Masao Watanabe, the president of two-man team 2D Fantasista, who was displaying "Flock," a visually charming shooting game. "I'm really happy to be able to watch people play my game. I think there are going to be more and more Japanese indie games, and this event shows that."
