Tasmania’s own games showcase was back for its second event in 2026. Run by Screen Tasmania, this event is a welcome addition to the Tasmanian game community’s calendar, showcasing games made by, or at the very least worked on by, Tasmanians. There was lots of exciting stuff there this year, with a Cosplay competition, Minecraft Showcase, and a whole day of panels and presentations. We had so much fun! We hosted a booth where we had most of the games that had been made at our game jams available for people to play, and we organised all the incredible volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly. Thanks volunteers!!
