//About Us

IndieCade supports independent game development and organizes a series of international events showcasing the future of independent games. There are a few things we’d like you to know about us:
  • All volunteer workforce

    The members of the community help IndieCade to keep going because we love games. We want games to be recognized for their innovation and artistry. We all work to help create a public perception of games as rich, diverse, artistic, and culturally significant.

  • Open community (Not exclusive)

    As long as you are interested in games that challenge, expand horizons, and are enjoyable then you are a welcome addition to the IndieCade community.

  • Sponsor supported

    Even with the volunteer support, putting on the festival takes hundreds of thousands of dollars. IndieCade is 100% independent. This means we aren’t owned by a major corporation and must find appropriate sponsors in order to make this festival happen every year. When we partner with a sponsor we work hard to make sure that we stick to our commitment to showcasing and bringing to public quality and meaningful games.
