Paris, July 1st 2022  -- Indie strategy and tactics game publishers Firesquid and Hooded Horse are launching TactiCon, an online event celebrating the tactical and strategy genres. The event features both recently released hit games as well as promising upcoming projects, and will be held on Steam through a special event sale page. The event will offer a way for developers and fans to meet, learn, and share with each other.
 

“It is exciting to organize this event due to the enthusiasm of all the great developers and publishers we have interacted with! We are all united in the love for these types of games and want to give them a forum,” said Anders Larsson, President of Firesquid. “If you are a developer we want you to apply to be able to get your game in front of the fans!”
 

“Strategy and tactics games have long been a core pillar of PC gaming, and with the growth of indie development the innovation in these genres has never been more exciting,” said Tim Bender, CEO of Hooded Horse. “With TactiCon, we hope to offer a forum for developers of all sizes to showcase their games and interact with fans.”
 

Both established strategy game giants such as Paradox and Amplitude as well as a host of developers of hit indie titles will be participating.

Space in the event is limited, and games that are selected will be formally invited to the event sometime after submission.
 

Developers will also be invited to submit talks, panels, interviews, and let’s plays to address specific topics of the genre they are working on. TactiCon offers a unique opportunity for strategy lovers to get to know the developers of the games they adore playing.
