About Us

What is Indie?

For purposes of this SIG, an 'Indie' has the following qualities:

1. An 'Indie' has the intent to make a profit off their game.

2. An 'Indie' tends to go outside of mainstream channels to develop, market, and distribute their game.

3. An 'Indie' is not funded by an ESA or ESLPA publisher.

Our Mission

We will work to unify the independent game development community. We will encourage innovative individuals to do their best. We will never turn away a game developer with the passion to create the best game they can. We will show vision and extend our interests into the mainstream industry. We will work with various distributors to ensure an opening for independent developers to get their game out there and played. We will work with third party middleware and engine developers to provide licensing discounts to IGDA members that qualify under the title "Indie". We will be the unifying front for independent game developers, and provide useful articles, resources, and community help.
