It's good to be part of a team. Why not join ours?

It's hard running a global volunteer team, especially if you're trying to do it by yourself. There's all the recruiting, getting the team into conventions, making sure the volunteers have your latest game (even if they live overseas), keeping track of the work they do, and then sending them rewards for their time. With so many independent publishers out there, that's a lot of duplicated effort -- and worse, every minute you spend managing your volunteers is a minute you don't spend designing new games!

That's where IGA comes in. We've recruited over 1125 volunteers from all over the world and taught them to run games effectively and professionally. We've built custom software to help make reporting and tracking effortless, so you can get all the data you need in real time without lifting a finger. We handle the training, the logistics, and the rewards. Our team combined to give our members a presence at over 50 conventions worldwide in 2017.

So, how does it work?

Easy. From the moment you sign up, any volunteer Minions in our network who already have your games can immediately teach them at their local game store, convention, or any other public place. We build the relationships, book the space, and run the event with no hassle at all for you. When our Minions run your game, you'll get an emailed report telling you what they played, where, with whom, if any sales were made, and any feedback from the players. The Minion can even submit a photo of the event. For every 15 minutes of gameplay a Minion reports, he or she receives one Loot Point. Each Loot Point is equivalent to $1 worth of credit in the IGA Reward Store. Minions spend their Loot Points on games of their choice, and IGA ships them straight to their door.

Benefits of this model include:
You ship games once to our warehouse rather than dozens of expensive, time consuming individual shipments
You never waste a copy of a game on a volunteer who doesn't want it
You never waste a copy of a game on an unproven volunteer who might just have signed up to get free games
Minions are constantly motivated to run more events to earn more games

Indie Game Alliance is an invaluable piece of Thunderworks Games’ marketing efforts. They do a great job getting our titles like Roll Player and Cartographers in front of more gamers through their demo program.

Shoot Again Games is thankful for all the support and help we receive as a member of the Indie Game Alliance. Because of IGA, we have been able to have our games shown at conventions all over the country that we otherwise could not have. They have been a great supporter and booster of our games.

The IGA is awesome: communicative, and always working to get our games seen by gamers who would never likely see them.
