​ Welcome to Weird Worlds Wind-down!

​Coming to EGX? Missing out on EGX? Either way is perfect! Come chill and close out the MCM Comicon / EGX London 2025 weekend with some oddities at Loading Bar with us!

We figure why not bring together folks who make games that are a bit different, oddball ideas, unpopular or dead genres, strange or emerging tech, achingly indie “I made everything” production, open source games and engine usage, alt controller hardware hacks, demo scene, table top, genuinely experimental or interesting use of AI or blockchain infra is *fine (sludge and grift not so much!) unusual (age appropriate) subject matter, and more broadly “Weird Worlds”.

​Effectively it’s just weird, interesting, and experimental “stuff” that fits in the games context, no gatekeeping, no judgement (as long as PG-13 enough for a public space) the aim is to be a big tent give folks who are maybe slightly outside of industry norms a place to show why their work is artistic and interesting. Come join us, play something new, and even share a weird idea of your own if you want!

​So what’s the format?

​A micro hybrid unconferencey / expo thing (truly tiny, just a corner of the Loading Bar) where old friends and new folk will have tables to demo their work at (with some rotation depending on demand) and a more central area where people will be able to present / give a lighting talk if they want to go deeper than a demo!

​We’ll curate a few projects to present and demo, but also allow for and make space for adhoc walk-in presentations of new things if you want to swing by on the breeze and decide you have something weird you want to share. Slots will be limited / first come first served, so if keen then make sure to shoot us a message to book a slot to present or demo. We’ll also have a sheet to sign up on the day if you are habitually analogue.

Drop me a line on rich at semaeopus dot com if you want to bring something along and so that I can throw it into the lineup for people to be intrigued by!

​Sneak Peak:

​As of now we have:

​Occlude - Tributary Games

​- a ritual disguised as Solitaire; a cosmic-horror card game where the rules are obscured and reality is at stake.

​Earth Must Die - Size Five Games

​- the story of my glorious rise to power (off the back of my adored father’s passing), my subsequent accidental surrender to the Terranoids, and my infamous revenge against Earth and everything it stands for.

Loot Survivor - Provable Games
- It's what you get if you cross Pokemon with a dungeon crawler. Navigate through procedurally generated dungeons, battle fierce beasts, overcome deadly obstacles, and collect legendary loot in your quest for survival and glory.

​Elemental Flow - Tea-Powered Games

​- An adventure game where conversation and words are powerful tools. Embody Clara as she figures out what to do after graduation, how to reconnect with her best friend, and deal with her newfound elemental powers.

​
O'Ruggin Trail - Archetypal Tech
- A collaborative text adventure. A journey accross a bleak post-collapse frontier, filled with moral hazard; where players get to re-write the world for each other.

​Sungaia Saga - Level 94

​- In this rhythm-action platformer, take the Beat Blade and parry, slash and catch the beat to mimic enemies' special moves. The clan you side with will determine which levels and bosses you face throughout the game.

And more on the way... maybe your game?

​Looking forward to seeing you, please make sure to sign up so Jimmy and the Loading Bar team have an idea of numbers.
