IGDX 2025 Featured Indie Games: Troublemaker 2: Beyond Dream
Following VirtualSEA’s coverage of Indonesia Game Developer Exchange (IGDX) 2025, we’re putting the spotlight on 5 games that stood out to represent the skill and diversity in Indonesia’s game development industry.
Gamecom Team’s Troublemaker series needs no introduction in the Southeast Asian games industry. The game studio has developed a significant portfolio, and its flagship series is recognizable, with its own dedicated fanbase.
Budi, as well as the new protagonist Jordan, packs another hefty punch in this sequel – featuring an open world environment, character-focused story, and a variety of minigames. This fresh release from September 2025 aims to deliver the same experience from the acclaimed original, with a bigger and better punk attitude in tow.
Engaging and unapologetically Indonesian, the Troublemaker series is a landmark in the Southeast Asian games industry. It showcases not only the incredible game development skills of Indonesia, but the unique experiences – and natural comedy – that come from its youth culture and vibrant community.
