Join Indie Games Startup

Indie Games Startup is a creator-driven PC game studio running a pipeline of Game Jams → Incubator → Publisher Track.
This page describes program participation opportunities, not job openings.

How We Work

Impact & Ownership

Every creator can contribute meaningfully, influence the direction of the work, and see their contributions show up in real playable builds—no “invisible” work and no feature‑factory mentality.

People-Centric Culture

We aim for psychological safety, clear expectations, and respectful collaboration across time zones. If a project reaches the Publisher Track, any revenue‑share or paid engagement terms (if offered) are documented in a separate written agreement specific to that project.

Playful Innovation

We prototype in short play‑fests, share ideas and feedback in Discord, and keep meetings lightweight. The goal is fast learning, strong iteration, and a healthy creator experience.

Level-Up Learning

Guided growth arcs, mentor sessions (when available), internal demos, and practical skill challenges help creators level up while building real prototypes and playable slices.

Remote-Ready Workflow

Remote‑first and async by default. We use clear milestones, lightweight tooling, and flexible participation windows so creators can contribute around their life and time zone.

Celebrate & Share

We spotlight achievements through show‑and‑tells and community updates. With your permission, we also highlight work in a credit‑forward way that supports portfolios and future opportunities.
