For this year’s Capital Creative Showcase, SDC is doing something completely new — a concurrent Steam Event!
The inspiration came from our friends at OffBrand, who ran a similar Steam Event alongside their in-person game showcase. When we talked to some of the developers who participated, they all said the same thing: the Steam event was a huge boost to their visibility and wishlist numbers. We immediately saw the potential.
Increasing a game’s visibility on Steam is one of the most effective ways to grow your audience and turn convention hype into real, long-term momentum. And that’s what CCS is all about — helping developers get more eyes on their work and giving them every opportunity to succeed. The Steam Event will run during the same weekend as CCS, allowing people all over the world to experience what’s happening here in Sacramento.
If you’d like to be included in the CCS Steam Event, all you need to do during booth registration is select that your game has a Steam page and paste the link to it. Once everything is submitted, you’ll later receive a confirmation email directly from Steam regarding your participation.
Even better — you don’t need to be an on-site exhibitor to join the Steam Event! Developers who can’t attend CCS in person are still welcome to submit their games for inclusion. The more games we have in our submission list, the better our chances of being approved for the Steam event — and the stronger our local dev scene looks to the global audience.
