This year, Epic short-listed eight games from hundreds that were received from all over the world to demo them at its booth this GDC; with the criteria being the game should be developed on its Unreal Engine. DGU is the only game on the list from an Indian studio. The list boasts of games such as ADR1FT by Three One Zero, a first person space exploration game, Red Goddess by Yanim Studios, a 2.5D Nonlinear Explorational Side-Scroller are also among the few from the eight that made the cut.
