And features some very queer friendly indie music!
Games Gig is the official Thursday night Freeplay Festival 2021 event, described by its organisers as “a music focused afterparty featuring a line-up of indie, pop, and electronic game composers performing their music from Melbourne indie games.”
Video World‘s Monster Mansion (aka Jacob Leaney) will headline the event alongside Maize Wallin, a composer who has worked on titles like the PS5 console exclusive
Godfall and indie titles such as
Receiver 2 and
Wayward Strand. Leaney and Wallin have also organised the event, intending it as a showcase for electronic and pop music, two genres that often don’t “get a chance to be seen and heard live, performed by the people that wrote it,” as Leaney explained to Stevivor.
