What better time to do this than during our 10th anniversary?\u201d said Jason Koh, founder and producer of Doujin Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve taken the best parts of what made us Singapore\u2019s premier pop culture creators convention over the years, and dialed it up to 11. We\u2019ll continue striving to provide creators in Singapore and the region with an affordable, accessible, and most importantly, visible platform in the years to come\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Avernative Production, who will once again be co-presenting the event, Doujin Market has partnered with Singapore Games Association (SGGA) to support the indie game ecosystem. The inaugural indie games zone will feature 9 titles, including those by homegrown studios Cloud of Pinky LLC (Harpy Raiders), Daffodil Starlight (Meow Meow Wizard Arena) and Miniversal Games (Mimicries). The area will also feature Taiwanese game studio CreSpirit\u2019s TEVI, and five games presented by TZ APAC Pte. Ltd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m elated to see indie games being given the spotlight alongside the many talented creators that Doujin Market is known for,\u201d said Cheryl Chong, Project Manager of Singapore Games Association (SGGA). \u201cI look forward to seeing our local creators take steps towards cooperating with game developers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also debuting at Doujin Market is Comic Toranoana, a stalwart in Japan\u2019s doujin and independent self-publishing landscape. A leading doujin store with nearly 30 years of history, they will be showcasing a selection of products, as well as their Fantia web portal for creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make going professional more accessible, portfolio reviews return this year, with the creator of the Geungsi graphic novel, Sean Lam, in attendance.

They will be showcasing their recent work at Doujin Market for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors hoping for more analog entertainment can make their way to the Tabletop Playspace.
