Event Recap: Secret 6 at PGDX 2024
Events

The Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) is the first game development expo in the country, featuring local and international exhibitors, workshops, panels, and many more. This year, PGDX returned for its second run from July 26-28, 2024, at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

Secret 6 made its appearance at PGDX's debut in August 2023, where we connected with a host of aspiring talents and showcased our expertise and services. We also hosted a VFX workshop for those eager to start their journey in the field.

This year, in 2024, we were thrilled to return to PGDX alongside industry leaders such as Adobe, SEGA Atlus, Epic Games, and more. The event also provided an excellent opportunity to mingle and network where we got to connect with fellow game developers, publishers, and international event organizers.

Insightful Talks from Our Experts

We had the opportunity to host multiple talks on various game development topics. Sharing our knowledge and experience with the game dev community is something we are truly passionate about, and we were thrilled to do it again at PGDX 2024.

Our game designer, Zeke, captivated the audience with his talk, The Power of Narrative: Shaping Games and Designers, illustrating how compelling storytelling through key design choices shapes both games and their creators.
