What is Indie Playtest Fest?

The Indie Playtest Fest is a newly launched event, held for the first time this year and starting on 1st August. It aims to connect indie game developers with gamers for playtesting, providing a platform for feedback and promotion. It supports the growth of indie games and the creativity within the indie gaming community.

This event offers indie developers, many of whom are launching their first commercial titles, the opportunity to receive valuable feedback directly from players. The Indie Playtest Fest also aims to promote indie titles as well as help to foster a community around these emerging games.

Indie Playtest Fest Prizes

Each game in the Indie Playtest Fest will host its own raffle, offering cash prizes and/or Steam gift cards to playtesters. Each developer will manage their own raffle, including entry requirements and prize details. Check each game’s rewards info page on the main Indie Playtest Fest website for more information.
