With just a week remaining to register for the Indie Prize contest at Casual Connect USA (San Francisco, August 11-13), more details are emerging about this year’s applicants (confirmed participants to be announced a month prior to the event after the judges review all games submitted).
Twenty-three countries are represented among the submissions: Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Canada, Colombia, United Kingdom, the United States, Poland, Bulgaria, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan, Denmark, Andorra, Spain, Netherlands, China, Brazil, Lithuania, Malta and Singapore.
Mobile and tablet are still the prevailing platforms for Indie Prize games (70.7 percent), though PC is catching up (35.4 percent). Web and console games in Indie Prize currently share the 11 percent.
New participants make the majority of this year’s Indie Prize show in San Francisco — 75.6 percent, with a still impressive part of 24.4 percent of developers who have gotten the taste of Indie Prize.
Games that have been published are mostly represented this year (57.3 percent), while 32.9 percent of developers are still looking for a publisher. (Publishers: Don’t miss your chance!)
About 9.8 percent of participants are developers who have just started but are already successful and courageous enough to showcase their creations.
