BARC at GDC 2024



BARC was exhibited at Alt.Ctrl.GDC 2024. Alt.Ctrl.GDC is an event within the Game Developers Conference (GDC) held annually, where developers around the world are invited to display games they have created that use creative and unusual alternative controllers, presenting a different way to engage with games from the conventions within the industry. From the submissions, a few are selected to bring their game to the expo floor during the convention for the wider community to engage with.

Yong Zhen Zhou and Joshua Tan travelled to San Francisco to present BARC in the Moscone Center where GDC 2024 was being held from 20/3/24 to 22/3/24. The game’s barcode scanning and receipt printing action garnered a great reception, with people consistently queuing to play the game.
