About Indie Cup
For the last 6 years, Indie Cup was (and hopefully will be again) the largest indie developers contest in Eastern Europe. More than 450 games participated in the cup annually. The contest gathered 1499 games, 89 of which became winners. The Indie Cup Celebration Steam event ran annually, being the first local event of its kind. Last autumn, over one million Steam users visited the sale page. Indie Cup events were also held on GOG.com and Humble Store.
Our team is based in Ukraine, and we have been working on the Germany’22 season since the beginning of this year — since before Russia’s attack on Ukraine — as we originally planned to announce it during the closing ceremony of the Indie Cup W’22.
We’re thrilled to finally get back to running Indie Cup & expand it beyond its current Eastern European home turf.
10% of all sponsorship proceeds from Germany’22 was donated to Come Back Alive and other organizations supporting Ukraine.
More Indie Cup events are scheduled for 2022.
