Develop:Brighton
With last year’s conference given an autumn billing and the ones previous to it being somewhat compromised by Covid, this year’s Develop:Brighton - one of the most important networking events in the UK games industry’s calendar - makes a welcome return to the summer months. If you’re a subscriber who’s reading this issue prior to making the annual pilgrimage to the south coast, make sure you check out what we think will be the highlights on p39. If you’re flicking through the magazine for the first time after having a copy thrust at you on the show floor, welcome to MCV/DEVELOP! Please enjoy the magazine and remember to go to

… Meanwhile, over in São Paulo, there was Brazil’s Independent Games Festival, which combined business hub, speakers, esports, as well as an expo with more than 200 games on show. Last year the event was digital only and managed to attract the attention of 70 million viewers. The number of in-person attendees were slightly below that this year, for obvious reasons, but the hybrid format ensured no one with an interest in the LATAM games industry missed out.

Matchpoint Tennis
Championships Wimbledon is over but the tennis doesn’t have to stop thanks to the timely release of Matchpoint Tennis Championships from veteran Australian studio Torus Games.
Matchpoint aims to channel the spirit of Virtua Tennis and 2K’s Top Spin series by straddling the contested chalk between realism and fun. While the game lacks many of the sport’s famous faces and almost all of its iconic tournaments, that’s not necessarily a hindrance to acceptance if the gameplay serves an ace. We’ll find out if it does if a top seed-packed sequel arrives next year with an official representation of Murray Mount - or whatever it’s called these days.
