The 7th edition of the Busan Indie Connect Festival, which was founded in 2015, took place from 1st to 4th September 2022 (the 1st in-person edition since 2019).

2 games from Cnam-Enjmin took part in the Rookie league:

  • White Mirror: a project developed from the 2022 Global Game Jam by a team of first-year students on the Master's degree in Video Games and Interactive Digital Media programme (Colette PLESSIER, Téo GAILLARD, Zoé SEMPÉ, Antoine BROUSSE, Marc CERUTTI, Maxime MAURIN, Dorian DESPLATS)
  • ABEL: a project created by a team of first-year students on the Master's degree in Video Games and Interactive Digital Media programme (Cohort 18) (Zoé SEMPÉ, Antoine BROUSSE, Louis GUILLAUMEAU, Taslim GUERROUMI, Yann KUKOLEWSKY)

4 students who participated in the development of these games had the possibility to travel to South Korea!

Here are articles from their interviews with the Korean media:

The Rookie league brings together students and independent professional developers who have been working for less than 3 years.
There were between 120 and 150 applications for only around 40 games to be selected for the Rookie league.

Over the entire festival (Rookie and General leagues), there were around 130 games on show.
