DemoNights is GamePlay Space's biggest event of the year. It offers the chance for Quebec studios to show off their work-in-progress games to the development community and beyond.
Each year, 15 selected studios get 5 minutes to show live gameplay of their unreleased game. Some of these come from well-known AAA studios, and others are indie projects of passion that we’ve never heard of before! As these are pre-release games, we get a mixture of polished, ready-to-ship games, and some that are still a work-in-progress (and prone to not working properly!) which always makes for a fun and eventful event.
According to our records, the first edition of DemoNights took place in 2006. Originally, it was run by the Montreal chapter of the International Game Developers Association, before GamePlay Space took it under its wing in 2017. Loto-Québec became an official partner in 2018.
More than 175 games have been shown at DemoNights, including some notable games, such as:
Game submissions typically open in the fall and close at the beginning of December. Calls for submissions are announced in the GamePlay Space newsletter, on our Discord, and on the GamePlay Space social media channels.
