Indie developers and gaming creators, finally in one place

Studios post playtests, keys for coverage, and paid collaborations. Creators browse, apply, and deliver — without a single cold DM.

Three ways to collaborate

Every opportunity says what it asks for before you open it

Every campaign states what the studio wants you to do — playtest feedback, public coverage, or both. Whether it's paid is a separate question, shown alongside.

Playtest feedback

Play something before anyone else and shape how it ships.

Get an unfinished build in front of players who will tell you the truth, and read their answers in one place.

Content

Keys and paid work for games you'd cover anyway.

Line up public coverage from creators whose audience actually plays your genre.

Feedback & content

Play the build, send feedback, and publish coverage — the collaboration isn't done until both are finished.

Require both: the playtest form inside IndieConnect, then public coverage you approve.

How it works

Two sides, one workflow

For creators

Discover, evaluate, apply

  1. 01Set up your creator profile with platforms and content focus.
  2. 02Browse open campaigns and filter by genre, type, and compensation.
  3. 03Apply with a pitch. Track every application in one place.
  4. 04Once accepted, stream or record — then submit your VOD, video, or coverage link.

For developers

Publish, review, collaborate

  1. 01Create your studio profile and add your games.
  2. 02Publish a campaign: ask for playtest feedback, public coverage, or both.
  3. 03Review applications and accept the creators who fit.
  4. 04Message accepted creators, then review their deliverables and feedback.

Beta

What works today, and what's coming

We'd rather ship a small honest tool than a big vague one.

Live now

  • Studio and game pages anyone can browse without an account
  • Campaigns, applications, and accept-or-decline decisions
  • Direct messaging with a creator once you accept them
  • Deliverable links and structured playtest feedback

You can post and agree a paid collaboration here — we just don't move the money yet. Keys and payment are settled directly between you.

Planned

  • Payments handled in-product, so a sponsored deal settles without invoicing
  • Up-front rates on sponsored listings — e.g. $200 for a few hours on stream
  • Light delivery tracking so both sides know what shipped

None of this is live yet — on purpose. We want to build it with the devs and creators who are here from the start.
