What is an “indie”? At IGDA, we define this any developer that is independently owned, regardless of industry or investor affiliations. If you are a one-person operation, or a studio made up of hundreds, the IGDA Indie Special Interest Group is here to support you.
The IGDA Indie Collective group has assembled some of the brightest and most experienced hearts and minds in the industry to help indie creators with the toughest challenges in today’s global marketplace: from recent operational impacts of COVID-19, to other common topics like studio strategic planning, business development, partnership management, production efficiencies, maximizing creativity under defined constraints, and more.
We are here to help! The form below is the best way to reach the group. We look forward to hearing from you!
