Game Dev Local at To The Moon Expo

 

12–13 November 2025 | NEC Birmingham

We’re bringing the UK’s indie heat straight to the big leagues.

Game Dev Local is proud to power the Indie Zone at this year’s To The Moon Expo, a bold new force in the UK gaming scene, built from the ground up to support the future of games, players, and the studios shaping what comes next.

​

This ain’t your typical show floor shuffle.

We’re curating a showcase of the most exciting indie talent in the UK, with studios you need to know and games you won’t believe are still in development. Expect narrative brilliance, mechanical wizardry, and pure unfiltered creativity, raw, playable, and ready to blow minds.

 

Why we’re doing this:

 

Because indies deserve better.
Because great games shouldn’t be buried under corporate noise.
Because community-first means developer-first, too.

We’re not just dropping a banner and walking away. Game Dev Local is designing a space where:

​

• Studios connect with players, press, publishers, and partners.

• Talent gets noticed.

• Stories get told.

​

Oh, and we’re mentoring hackathon teams, supporting talks and panels, and helping shape the ecosystem around this event. Because when indies win, the whole industry levels up.

​

Want to showcase with us?

Whether you’ve got a tight demo, a vertical slice, or a big idea and a dream, we want you in the room.

Spaces are limited and curated. Hit us up if you’re ready.

Let’s show ‘em what UK indie really looks like.
