Developer Central | Indie Games Developer

You can submit your game for free inclusion on our main IGD website, excluding Developer Central. Your game must be either already released, less than a year away from release (with or without a demo), or up to two years away if you have a demo. If you’re launching your game or starting a crowdfunding campaign, you should choose the Priority or Priority Plus option for a faster listing. Without this, we can’t guarantee your game will be shown on our website within a specific timeframe.

If your game is in the early stages of development, please wait until it’s more advanced before submitting. In the meantime, you can join our community groups. We will regularly feature projects that are in development from our community on Developer Central.

Frequently asked questions . . .

Submitting your game doesn’t guarantee that you will get on our website, or magazine.  It really depends on how complete your game is and if we feel that we can help.  We will look at your game being ready for inclusion on our website and will also look at whether or not the game is too generic!  One of the reasons why we believe stores are saturated with games is that too many of them are the same or do not provide any unique features to set themselves apart from the rest.

No.  At least not at the moment.  We believe it is not the right time to decide this just yet.  For now, we are happy to showcase or promote your game with the current stores that your game is in.  We can provide store links to most of the available stores out there today.  When you submit your game to our website, you are not uploading your game or demo – we help drive traffic to the game stores through showcases, marketing and campaign packages.

Not yet.  We are making sure that everything is in place before we become a publisher of games.

Yes!  You can upgrade and pay only the difference.   This will cover you for the additional marketing that we provide.  Get in touch to find out what is included.

Submitting your game to us is the first step.  Once your game has been approved and added to our website, you will then potentially be selected for inclusion in our magazine, but it is not guaranteed.  We will generally select games that have been submitted to our website first, then our communities and then socials.  All games selected to be in each issue of the magazine will have a game page at the time of the magazine going to print and are generally held in reserve until then.  We try not to reveal any spoilers.

You can submit your game via the Free Basic Package, this will get your game into the queue system which is growing on a weekly basis, however we will filter out games that have a demo or have been released to give them more of a priority when we need to complete each book, but it will be less than a Priority package.  Your game could potentially be included in the first BIG BOOK of Indie Games or the next. (Subject to approval)

Marketing Packages (Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) all vary in what we provide and are often tailored to your game.  Each package will provide a longer duration of visibility on our website and magazine, various promotions throughout our network and marketing material additions.  Get in touch to find out more.
