”Indie Prize is becoming bigger and bigger year by year – it is amazing and overwhelming to see indie talent and spirit growing so very strong all over the world. On behalf of Casual Connect and Indie Prize, we cordially congratulate all the finalists, nominees and winners, and are looking forward to seeing more games in the future,” says Yulia Moshkaryova, Director of Indie Prize.
Developers from 63 countries submitted 470 games for all platforms for the international Indie Prize scholarship. This is an increase of over 20 percent of submitted games compared to the last year’s Indie Prize Europe 2016. PC is still the strongest platform with nearly 44 percent of all submitted games closely followed by mobile games equally among both platforms (iOS/Android). 42 judges selected the 130 best indie games which were invited to showcase in the Indie Prize area during Casual Connect Europe in Berlin and provided with a scholarship to showcase the games.
Indie Prize has international partners around the world, united under the Game Nations community banner. Those partners nominated the best games via local contests to participate in the showcase in Berlin without the internal Indie Prize contest. The winners received a guaranteed spot in Indie Prize to showcase the game with two free all-access passes and free accommodation during the conference.
All the Indie Prize judges are veterans of the gaming industry and represent the following companies: Yodo1 Games, Rovio, Zeptolab, Unity Technologies, RJ Games, GameFounders, Tenjin, Eye For Games, Amazon.com, Demiforce, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, Stugan, Exit Games, I Teut You So, Affiniti Ventures|AV(M) & IPC, Big Boat Interactive, VK.com and many more.
