A MAZE. / Berlin 2026

Indie games are known for their intriguing themes, experimental gameplay, unique aesthetic identity and, more often than not, their hybrid nature—blending physical objects with digital elements. Moving from early prototypes and festival showcases to a fully developed game comes with a series of important and sometimes tricky, decisions.
How do you build a community around your work? Where do you find financial support? And how do you test whether your core idea actually holds up? These are some of the challenges we’ll tackle together. In this workshop, we’ll share strategies, look at good practices, explore platform features that can work in your favour, and dig into a few Kickstarter campaigns that are worth a closer look.

//AUDIENCE:: People interested in crowdfunding, publishing their game and/or building their community
//REQUIREMENTS:: Interest
//BRING:: Something to take notes on if you want to.
