The Triple-i Interactive showcase took place last week, spotlighting some of the top upcoming independent games. You can check out everything announced at the event, but here are a few of our favorites:
Prove You’re Human

Gunzilla staff has not been paid
Current and former staff at Gunzilla Games claim the company has not paid their salaries for months.
Posting on LinkedIn (since deleted or blocked), multiple employees say they have not been paid since October 2025. Game Developer posted some of the quotes from the post, including one from an employee who says “Gunzilla Games has not paid its employees for many months but still expects them to work. I have personally not been paid since October 2025. Some have had their pay delayed even longer.” Another employee says:
In December the CEO himself (Vlad Korolev) had a call with my department where he promised us that invoices would be paid as soon as possible, that the company was profitable and that we were all doing the right thing by keeping quiet and continuing to work.
He was not being truthful and now the company ignores our questions and removes our posts about what’s going on trying to silence us. Silence is what they’re hoping for, wishing that we’ll just quietly go away.
In response to these assertions, Korolev took to Twitter to post a long rambling message addressing the “haters,” where he states:
[T]o protect the interests of our players and our full-time official employees — whose salaries, over 6 years, have never been delayed by more than a week — we operate at a pace that ensures the company continues moving forward. And of course, we honor every obligation.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Gunzilla Games was cofounded by film director Neill Blomkamp (of District 9 and Chappie fame), and is working on a NFT battle royale game called Off The Grid.
