  • About Indie Games Festival

     

    UBM TechWeb (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

    We wanted to create a similar event to Sundance for independent game developers - and that's just what we've succeeded in doing with the Independent Games Festival, which has awarded hundred of thousands of dollars in cash prizes (and brought major exposure and a much higher profile) to a multitude of indie and student game developers who enter. There are three main elements to the Festival itself:

    The Independent Games Festival Pavilion

    Located on the show floor at Game Developers Conference, and open to any members of the public or game professionals who have bought an Expo Pass to the show or above, the IGF Pavilion showcases every single finalist for that year's Festival in playable form. Members of the development team for each IGF finalist are on hand to discuss and demonstrate the title and talk to top game publishers and distributors attending the show. The 2012 IGF Pavilion will open March 7th, 2012 and run through March 9th.

    The Independent Games Festival Awards

    The IGF Awards take place on the evening of the third day of Game Developers Conference, and are a major celebration of the best in indie gaming, with thousands watching the award presentation before the Game Developer's Choice Awards are presented. The 2011 IGF Awards, including custom interstitials from Mega64, are available for online viewing. The 2012 Festival Awards will take place March 7th, 2012. All GDC visitors can attend the ceremony.

    The Independent Games Summit

    The Independent Games Summit seeks to highlight the brightest and the best of indie development, with discussions ranging from indie game distribution methods through game design topics, guerrilla marketing concepts, student indie game discussions. The fifth annual IGS was held February 28th and March 1st, during the first two days of GDC 2011, and the sixth is planned for March 5th through 6th, 2012.
