Empowering Indie Developers With Xbox Game Camp Asia

From connecting indie developers to industry mentors to hosting mock game pitches, Xbox Game Camp Asia was held recently from 20th February - 19th April 2024 with two strong goals: to empower people from traditionally marginalised communities and underrepresented youths to realise their potential in the gaming industry and to grow gaming communities around the world. This week, we look at the camp and its impact from several angles through the people involved - Xbox Global Expansion Lead Chia Jun Shen, local indie game studio head Suan Goh, together with budding game developers Vanessa Ong and Jonathan Tang, participants of the camp.
