We are looking for passionate creators

Game Studios

Indie studios or teams of any size

Whether you're a duo working from a garage or an established indie studio, we welcome teams with a shared vision for creating exceptional gaming experiences.

Game Developers

Individuals or small teams working on a game

Solo developers and micro-teams with passion and a working project — you don't need a studio name to make something great. We believe in talent, not titles.
