One Store Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeon Dong-jin) announced that it will hold an online selection contest for ‘G-Star Indie Showcase Powered by Stove Indie (from now on referred to as G-Star Indie Showcase)’ with Smilegate Stove Indie until the 22nd of this month.
The G-Star Indie Showcase is a special exhibition event jointly operated by One Store, the G-Star Organizing Committee, and Smilegate Stove Indie at the G-Star 2023 site to discover excellent indie games. As a partner in the mobile sector, One Store is responsible for screening mobile entries, providing technical support, and building event pages.
The online selection contest will be held by the public voting on 147 works, including 116 in the PC category and 31 in the mobile category, submitted during the submission period last month. Anyone can experience the game and participate in voting through the G-Star Indie Showcase online selection event page until the 22nd.
A random voting system was applied to ensure fair voting operations and prevent abuse; the voting period was divided into the first and second rounds, allowing voting a total of two times, once each. G-Star Indie Showcase plans to announce the 40 companies participating in the final exhibition on the 10th of next month by adding up the online selection scores and the judges’ scores.
Jeon Dong-jin, CEO of One Store, said, “One Store will not spare any support for the development of K-Indie games that are recognized as competitive in the global market,” and added, “We hope that many people will participate in the G-Star Indie Showcase online selection contest, which is selected by the hands of users.” said.
Meanwhile, One Store has been supporting the revitalization of related ecosystems since 2016 by operating the ‘Indie Game Zone of the Month,’ which discovers creative indie games and provides marketing benefits. In addition to developing the small and medium-sized indie game industry, we have sponsored ‘Indie Craft’ since 2019. From 2020, we are implementing a policy of reducing commissions by half for businesses with a monthly transaction volume of 5 million won or less.
