Smilegate's game platform Stove said on the 20th that it will take part in "Taipei Game Show 2026," which will be held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from the 29th to Feb. 1.
Taipei Game Show has been held every year since 2003 as a flagship comprehensive game event in the Asia-Pacific region. More than 350,000 visitors attend each year.
Smilegate will participate in this event as the main title sponsor of the "Indie House" in the B2C (business-to-consumer transaction) zone. Indie House is a space where indie game developers from around the world unveil their latest works and interact directly with users. Smilegate will run a Stove brand zone inside Indie House, offering a space where visitors can try "K-indie games" firsthand and experience the platform's various benefits.
Through this booth, Smilegate will showcase a total of six indie titles from its publishing indie game lineup, including "Alley: Gwihun," a Korea-style horror game drawing attention, as well as "Storm Maid," "Sanyang Lab," "No Over-Immersion 2: Summer Pocha," "Archetype Blue," and "A Player Who Can't Level Up."
At the Asia Pacific Game Summit held during Taipei Game Show, a presentation will be given under the theme "New paths for the growth and success of indie games: Smilegate Stove platform and ecosystem." It will share growth strategies through the Stove platform and cases of entering Asian and global markets for global indie game creators.
This participation follows WePlay 2025 in Shanghai, China, and G-EIGHT 2025 in Taiwan last year, marking the third offline showcase introducing Stove to users in the Chinese-speaking market. A Smilegate official said, "By linking these events, we will expand contact points with users in Asia and accelerate the global spread of K-indie games."
