As always, submissions and participation remain completely free and open to all indie teams, with no commercial or paid spots available. Since its debut in 2022, the Showcase has featured more than 200 indie titles, with a strong emphasis on uplifting the people behind the games and supporting developers who may not have access to traditional industry platforms. What began as a grassroots passion project has grown into a professionally produced premiere event with direct marketing and hands-on production support for participants, all while staying true to its core values of zero barriers and zero cost for developers.
