The Innovative Triple-I Initiative Showcase
The Triple-i initiative recently held a gaming showcase that not only understood the gaming industry but also embraced a sense of humor in its approach. Recognizing that traditional gaming showcases can often be filled with corporate fluff, overly lengthy presentations, and a focus on a few major titles, Triple-i took a different approach. In just 45 minutes, their first event managed to deliver over 30 game trailers and teases, each sparking curiosity and interest among viewers. While the definition of “Triple-i” remains somewhat vague, intentionally so, the event showcased a diverse range of games, particularly on PC.
What types of games were featured at the Triple-i showcase? The event was packed with various genres, including rogue-lites, roguelikes, survival games, city-builders, deckbuilders, Hades-likes, 16-bit platformers, turn-based tactical games, and even a game involving a car with legs. While indie and indie-adjacent games dominated the showcase, there were also unexpected surprises that caught the attention of viewers.
Intriguing Titles from the Showcase
