Independent Developer Cup
Hi Habr!
I immediately confess that I wanted to write this article in “I am PR”, realizing that this is practically an advertisement. But in view of the small karma and the inability to do this, I still venture to write about our event in this hub, hoping for the mercy of Habr.
Since past publications were a success, though not huge, I hope for the opportunity to report on the event here. I will not clutter the air with unnecessary details and large pictures, I will tell you the most important thing under the cut.

Better late than never. Our event is held from June 15 to August 15, fully online at .
The main goal we are pursuing is to popularize the video game industry and the opportunity for novice developers to rise to a new level. One of the main partners of the cup is the international program Indie Prize, held as part of the world famous gaming industry exhibitions from Casual Connect.
Getting into the top 100 best independent developers in the world is quite a difficult task, but with us it can become a reality. At least, we sincerely want to do something cool and so far everything is working out for us. Already more than 35 participants :)
It is the GTP Indie Cup finalist who will get a unique opportunity to get directly to the Indie Prize Tel-Aviv 2016 final without a qualifying grid, and show his game among the hundred best igrodelov in November. At the same time, the Indie Prize organizers take all the lectures at asual Connect conference and live in Tel Aviv, and moreover, offer you a separate area where you will hold a presentation of your project and be able to communicate with colleagues, players and even publishers. Alas, we have not yet found a sponsor for the flight for the finalist, but you will agree, not bad either.
To become a winner in the GTP Indie Cup, you need to get into the top ten projects in the opinion of the public. From June 15 to August 15, there is a reception of entries, and on July 15, a public vote starts, where everyone can rate the project they like.
Despite the start of voting already on Friday, we continue accepting works until August 15, after which we close the reception of competitive works and summarize the public vote. Many developers just finish their demo and alpha to the beginning of August.
And here the most interesting begins: a competent team of 8 jury members will select the best project and will announce the undisputed winner on August 22! Many of the participants will be glad to know that they will be truly evaluated by professionals:
Sergey Grigorovich (GSC Gameworld), Maxim Fomichev (G2A and just PR Jedi), Yulia Moshkareva (Indie Prize), Alexey Savchenko (Epic Games, UE Evangelist), Mikhail Zinchenko (Operational Producer of the Kiev Wargaming Center), Pavel Dorokhovsky (4A Games, Lead 3d artist), Mikhail Katz (Co-Founder Plarium Education), Alexander Shlygin (Unity, Solution Consultant).
But despite the lack of a commercial component in organizing the event, we enlisted the support of partners such as Razer, Unity, weGame and Games Gathring to expand the prize fund and nominations. All the details on the site of the cup .
We sincerely wish good luck to all current participants of the cup and hope that together with the community we will gather even more talents and help them to shine!
