2023. The main conference takes place
GDoCExpo has multiple game showcases, and this application form is for any/all of them:
• Game Dev Grants (we award no-strings development grants, up to $25K per team)
It's possible to be accepted to some of above and not others. We email all applicants with official acceptance or rejection letters, but we do not provide written feedback.
We're looking for games that stand out and can benefit from the spotlight. They can be polished commercial titles, or they can be small and personal works that make a statement. Maybe they're from beloved genres, or maybe they're experimental and surprising. We are also interested in free web games and tabletop games. It's open to released and upcoming projects alike. We'll especially keep an eye out for projects that translate well visually and conceptually either through online video (or through the first few minutes of playing, for webgames).
