Google recently concluded its first Indie Games Accelerator bootcamp. The program ended with a graduation ceremony for all the indie developers involved, including Malaysian indie developer Gameka.
So what exactly is the Indie Games Accelerator bootcamp? In essence, it’s a four-month program where promising developers, selected by Google, are trained to successfully build, scale, launch and market their games. And Google emphasizes that it wants to make sure participants won’t just market their next game successfully, but every other subsequent endeavour as well.
Part of the program includes being mentored by senior members of the game development circle, as well as personnel from Google. Throughout the program, they not only learn to make and test their game, but also to grow and lead their company.
Participating indie developers who graduate will also have their games highlighted in the Google Play Store. This is simply because – being part of the process – Google can confidently vouch for the quality of the games.
We’re proud to see how much our #indiegame startups have grown 🏆
Don't worry if you missed the chance to join us this year – the #PlayIndie Games Accelerator will return in 2019!
