IndieCade Festival 2020 - Anywhere & Everywhere
Online October 16-24
Submissions deadline: June 1st
What is IndieCade Anywhere and Everywhere?
For 15-plus years, IndieCade has been the premiere stand-alone gathering and showcase for indie games worldwide. And this year we plan to do so in an expanded environment online!! Recognizing the limitations, but mostly the opportunities, presented by this social distancing situation, our team is innovating in the online space to create a Festival that is more inclusive and more globally accessible, and that can shine a brighter light on our nominated and award-winning juried games than we’ve ever been able to do in person. In our online Festival, we will be gathering together for our legendary showcase and gameplay of the most innovative independent work, workshops and sessions, live play and streaming, connections with publishers, developers, creators, coffees and chats, and more!
IndieCade has broken many barriers industry-wide and this year will prove no exception. We look forward to bringing our global community together for a ten-day festival and celebration of indie creators and their latest innovations, with greater reach and impact than ever before.
