DELEGATE TICKET INFORMATION!
There will be two conferencing streams available to delegates this year, the MGA Business to Business conference and the Playtopia Talks aimed at delegates interested in the creative side of game development. Playtopia delegates are invited to attend talks, panels and workshops hosted by both international and local industry experts in the field of Indie Game development and the MGA talks are aimed at business development of gaming within the African context. Tickets are very limited and booking is essential!

NB! Please take note, MGA tickets and Playtopia Talks tickets are priced differently, and whilst an MGA ticket gives you complete all access, a Playtopia Talks ticket will not give you access to the MGA talks.

Send us your games!

Between the SFA Multiplayer Arcade, our main exhibition, and a small VR area, Playtopia showed off 40+ games at last year's festival. We were incredibly happy with the quality of the games on show, and double-happy that about 50% of them had come out of South Africa! For our 2019 event, we'd love to continue this trend, and celebrate the most creative, playful and emotionally moving games coming out of South Africa, and the rest of the African continent! To help us make this a reality, please send us your creations, and please share this call for submissions with your friends and followers! We want to get the word out far and wide, and share the best of what's happening in the world of African game dev!
