The Game Jolt Alternative Indie Fest!

There are multiple ways to win an Expo pass to GDC and show off your game in person!

Here's what makes this festival unique:

  • Only free games. Free games are a HUGE part of indie gaming, but they don't get enough recognition at the big industry events. Let's change that!
  • No entry fee. We want everyone to be able to enter.
  • No outside judges. Participants judge the games. In the end, we tally the votes. Winners are chosen by their peers.
  • No corporate sponsors or publishers. It's FOR indies BY indies.

If you released a game during 2015 or early 2016 (and it's free), you can enter it into the Fest. 10 indie developers will be awarded a GDC Expo Pass and a spot to showcase their winning game in the Game Jolt booth.

For details on how to enter, check out the #GJFEST event page: Jams.gamejolt.io

Didn't make a game in 2015 or 2016 (or don't want to enter one that you did)? No worries, you can still be showcased: Join the Game Jolt GDC Jam

Join the Game Jolt GDC Jam

Make a game in 72 hours for the Game Jolt GDC Jam, which starts on February 4th.

The developers of the top 5 games will receive a GDC Expo Pass and a slot at the Game Jolt booth to showcase their jam game.

All the Games!

We will be showing a total of 60+ free indie games at the Game Jolt Booth! The top 5 #GJGDCJam games and the top 10 #GJFest games will be showcased. Game Jolt staff (and possible guest curators) will choose the remaining 45 games from all of the games on the site.
