Indie Megabooth levels up with Megashow, its arts-music-games festival

Ahead of the first-ever Megashow festival, the Indie Megabooth teamed up with publisher Devolver Digital to showcase independent games in a parking lot across from the Electronic Entertainment Expo proper. Larger-than-ever crowds swarmed the big bright booths in the Los Angeles Convention Center, hoping to get a chance to possess some dudes in the new Super Mario Odyssey or to punch some Nazis in Wolfenstein 2. Meanwhile, the Devolver lot was quieter, though no less celebratory, with nary a Rabbid in sight.

Kelly Wallick founded Megabooth in 2012, which functions as a popup that showcases indie games within larger events such as the Penny Arcade Expo (a convention for fans), the Game Developers Conference (one of the largest events that focuses on those who make game, not those who play them), and now E3.
