Indie Showcase

About

Indie Showcase is a curated selection of the best, most interesting titles on the independent scene – games close to release, already released and titles still ways off from launch, but already possessing the necessary “it” factor. We invite 50 chosen developers to show playable versions of their games at our Digital Dragons showfloor at Kraków’s ICE Congress Centre – 20 of which will compete for our main prizes. They will all be vying for attention from investors, publishers, as well as other developers and all other Digital Dragons visitors taking part in the Community Vote.
