Philippine Game Dev Expo or PGDX is set to gather gamers, game developers and people with similar interests under one roof through a showcase of amazing activities and wide business opportunities. Organizers CBZN Perspective and Game Developers Association of the Philippines are hopeful that this event—the first of its kind in the country—will spark more interest in game development.
What’s in it for Gamers and Developers at PGDX?
