Previously the group has awarded titles include fan-favorite games such as Sea of Stars, Viewfinder, and Party Animals. The INDIE Live Expo aims to “find games worth sharing.” They seek to award games that stay true to the indie tradition and the element that makes indie games unique. While they don’t explicitly define what constitutes an indie game, they celebrate the spirit of indie creation.
Game submissions for indie developers and publishers are now open until Monday, March 11th, 7:00 PM PDT / 10:00 PM EST. Registration is free for up to one title per organization, be it a reveal of a brand new project, news for an upcoming game, major updates for previously released works, or a sale.
