๐ฎ More than offline! 160 games exhibited at once!
Smilegate’s ‘Burning Beaver 2022’ event was held both online and offline. This allowed significantly more people to visit, creating an incredible synergy effect ๐ฅ While about 80 games were available at the offline event booths, ‘Burning Island’ hosted online on ZEP exhibited a whopping 160 games! This provided developers with an opportunity to increase their brand awareness, and indie game fans with a chance to discover new games, eliciting a warm response from participants ๐
โจ Providing a unique, deeper experience
In line with the event’s name ‘Beaver Burning,’ a space where you can transform into a beaver ๐ฆซ character was specially prepared on the map. This reinforced the event’s name and allowed participants to actively engage in the event, offering them a deeper and unique brand experience ๐ Moreover, approaching characters placed throughout the map triggers a speech bubble ๐ฌ, which can convey storytelling or provide information about the event’s progress. These small experiences can be a great fertilizer for building a positive brand image among consumers!
2๏ธโฃ Reducing Costs and Increasing Efficiency!

๐ฅ๏ธ A huge real space to the size of your computer screen
How much space and cost would be needed to set up 160 booths in an offline space?
With ZEP, you can create your desired map without the constraints of physical space. Smilegate was able to use space more efficiently by building the event space through ZEP! Connecting the numerous games and the public ๐ was made possible. Setting up so many game booths at one offline event venue would take a lot of time and money, and might even be impossible ๐ฅฒ However, by utilizing online space, the opportunity to introduce many games to more people was created!๐
Even if thousands of participants access one map, ZEP’s host function โ๏ธ allows for effective management of numerous participants! The host function enables you to broadcast announcements and control participants’ screen and microphone activation.
