IndieCade is switching things up with 9 full days of 24-hour programming for our 2020 online festival celebrating independent games. Tune in this October 16-24 for #AnywhereAndEverywhere. Submissions still open !
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.

Expect more community online gatherings throughout the summer as we gather our global developers together in anticipation for the fall. We will be posting more about the amazing programming we have planned for the coming months here and on our social channels.
Your ongoing support will help us to stay independent and allow us to keep bringing you the most creative, unusual and thought-provoking interactive works, without restriction. In return, we've put together an array of benefits, for attendees and for developers.
Are you an IndieCade Alumnus? We want to know! If you've been a speaker, organizer, juror, or presented your game at IndieCade or any IndieCade-related showcase (ex. IndieCade @ E3, IndieCade @ SIGGRAPH, etc. - doesn't need to have been a finalist) we'd like to be in touch.
