IndieCade Opens Game Submissions for IndieCade Festival 2014

IndieCade is now accepting game submissions from independent developers for this year’s IndieCade Festival returning to downtown Culver City, California on October 9-12, the organization announced this week.

Submissions for the premier international festival of independent games can be made at the official IndieCade website. Developers can also submit their games “for consideration to become one of 35 nominees for recognition at the festival’s ‘Red Carpet’ Awards.”

May 15 is the deadline for submissions.

IndieCade accepts all types of projects from video to card games and will provide a jury of over 100 leaders from the games industry, academia, fine arts and the indie scene to elect award winners.

Additionally, IndieCade will grant all participating developers access to the IndieXchange Summit held on October 9; the summit will give developers a chance to network with other game companies and publishers such as PlayStation, Nintendo and Microsoft, to name a few.

“Our mission is focused on promoting indie projects while supporting and fostering the overall independent development community.” said chief executive officer and founder of IndieCade Stephanie Barish in a press release obtained by Review Fix. “The IndieXchange Summit is a great example of how we foster growth for independent game-makers. Through the summit, we invite creators and other industry leaders to challenge conventional and operational thinking, to educate and introduce new methodologies, and to encourage provocative and often controversial discussions through workshops, clinics and panels, technology boot camps and networking opportunities.”

Further information about the IndieXchange Summit can be found on IndieCade’s website, as well.

IndieCade has yet to announce a date regarding when the passes for IndieCade Festival 2014 will go on sale to the general public, though they promised it will be soon.
