Back-Alley Developers Cloud Brings Five Edgy Indies to TGS2026
The booth is a direct answer to TGS's five-day schedule: developers organized mutual aid because the longer show is a manpower and cost burden on individuals who cannot staff a booth for a full week.

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, the indie community Back-Alley Developers Cloud and Blast Edge Games shared a joint booth in Hall 9's Indie Game Corner, showing five titles: KARATE ROGUE, God-Slaying Blue Silver, a beast-raising adventure, an enemy-slamming shooter, and a sushi-bill shogi game. The community formed after a social media call asking whether individual developers could endure TGS's first five-day run.
Tokyo Game Show 2026 ran five days, and that change is what put the Back-Alley Developers Cloud booth together. The community is chaired by Terui-do LLC, whose social media call asking whether individual developers could handle a five-day show drew enough response that its Discord server passed 100 members, including translators, streamers, and media people alongside developers.
Five volunteer groups brought their works into one booth in Hall 9's Indie Game Corner, slot H9-E32, alongside Blast Edge Games Inc. The lineup ran from a karate roguelike to a shogi game fought over a sushi bill.
- KARATE ROGUE: terry-do GAMES roguelike where a karateka climbs out of the abyss with bare fists; due within 2026, demo available
- God-Slaying Blue Silver: Sword_Guild region-conquest simulation RPG, launched July 21, 2026, the only one of the five already out
- Adventure game raising a girl turning into a beast
- Shooter where you slam enemies into other enemies
- 90s-style simulation RPG
- Shogi game where players fight over the sushi bill
