The showcase is not only a celebration, but also a showing of the level of collaboration that occurs around the pledge as various pledge partners and supporters have contributed to the showcase by submitting footage and game trailers for diverse and representative games out now and coming soon. Not to mention the showcase was co-produced with the assistance of Liquid Crimson, an award winning, full-service creative production studio based in Surrey.
