Last week we told you about $30,000 prize fund for indie developers which was established by tinyBuild company. But today we’re super excited to announce that two more companies decided to support indie developers by adding $10,000 each.
Thanks to Arktos Entertainment and Kefir companies the prize fund has increased to $50,000!
In this regard, the distribution of prizes is the following:
- the winner will get $30,000
- all nominees will get $5,000 each
In the life of each indie project there comes a time when it seems that you need one or two more weeks, month and the game will become much better, and more interesting. You understand that but don’t have enough time. So, you have to release your game as it is, relying only on the loyalty of audience. Actually, it is a strategy of all ‘early access’ projects. I hope that my contribution to prize fund growth will give additional time for projects to bloom.

People are the most valuable element of indie teams. As a rule, there are no other resources. It is people that are ready to work side by side for the result. We’re happy to support them. As the real masterpieces are usually made by a friendly and strong team that is obsessed with one common idea. And we know this feeling too well.

I always wish DevGAMM Awards to become the main game industry award with real prize money. We’re very thankful to all the companies which supported the idea of our fund!
If you work at gaming industry for years, and you really care which games gain recognition — become a judge of DevGAMM Awards.
