💡 Why showcase at Courage?
We bring game professionals together: over a drink, over a demo build, over a shared love for games. Courage keeps it casual. Think more ‘chill bar energy’ and less ‘hectic expo chaos’ 🍹
This time, we’re teaming up with devcom Developer Night — one of the biggest meetups of gamescom week, where 2000–3000 game professionals gather to mingle, play and party. And we’re putting you right in the middle of it!
🧑💻 What’s it like to showcase?
Showcasing your demo? That takes courage 💪
So we keep it simple and developer-friendly:
- No loud music so you can actually talk about your game 🙉
- Informal setup: just you, your laptop, and maybe a controller or two 🎮
- Playtesting or pitch testing in a relaxed atmosphere
- VIP hour before the crowd arrives: meet publishers, investors, and press in a low-key setting 💬✨
We had a wonderful time showcasing our game at Courage XL in 2025. As a new studio it was a great opportunity to showcase our game and meet people travelling from all over the world. The organizers really looked after us, we made some great connections and had an absolute blast! We highly recommend others to get involved at future events. Thank you to the team for such an important and inspiring set of events!

💸 Showcase spot costs
We’d love to make showcasing completely free, but as you can imagine there are some costs involved; things like venue rental, marketing, drink tokens and, well, time from us to make it all happen.
Thanks to our amazing sponsors we cover most of it. But to keep things running smoothly we ask for a fee of €200 per developer.
It helps us cover the basics and keeps the event fair and committed for everyone involved.
✅ What if my game gets selected?
If your game is selected, here’s what’s included for €200:
- One showcase spot on a table and power socket at the devcom Developer Night Courage Showcase floor
- Access to the venue from 18:00 to 00:00
- VIP hour access from 19:00 to 20:00
- €50 worth of drink tokens to give out to your first playtesters 🍻
- A chance to show your game with other industry folks before gamescom kicks off
Please note: this event is part of the devcom party, not the daytime conference
