Few other showcases provide as much of a spotlight for upcoming projects from indie developers as Valve's tri-annual Steam Next Fest. Typically taking place in February, June, and October, these showcases provide hundreds of demos of upcoming titles for fans to download and try out in hopes of bringing more attention and traffic to each title's Steam product page. The February showcase earlier this year brought more than 1300 demos into the hands of Steam users, with several of the February Fest's highlights having released to critical acclaim since.
