■Process of correction
We have edited the INDIE Waves videos then contacted and shared them with each exhibitor.
We have re-uploaded the updated INDIE Waves summary video to our YouTube channel.
These can be checked through the URL below the titles above.
We sincerely apologize to our viewers for the incorrect information we provided. We at INDIE Live Expo have taken this incident extremely seriously and will make improvements to prevent such mistakes and misunderstandings from occurring.
In addition, for some titles introduced during the event, the promotion or publishing for certain platforms are limited depending on the exhibitors.
For this reason, we do not provide the full list of supported platforms for every title.
■Future Measures
INDIE Live Expo is an online event that started in June of 2020 and for it to become this big in just a year is all thanks to the entrants and the viewers.
At the same time, managing over 300 games by hand has become a difficulty.
For this reason, we are considering the implementation of a system and workflow that will allow us to manage information more accurately for future events.
More specifically, we would like to perform the following,
- Implementing an automated system to prevent human errors.
- Formulate a comprehensive display format, including exhibitor information.
We will continue to make improvements to ensure that exhibitors are able to use the event as a place for promoting their products and services.
Thank you for your continued support of INDIE Live Expo.
