One Store and Smilegate Stove Indie announced the 40 final exhibition works of ‘G-Star Indie Showcase Powered by Stove Indie (from now on referred to as G-Star Indie Showcase).’
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.
A total of 40 works were selected for the final exhibition, 8 in the mobile category and 32 in the PC category. The mobile division title is ▲False Paradise (Team GG) ▲Cat and Secret Recipe (Zombie Mate) ▲, Adventurer’s Story (Studio Wheel), and five other works. The PC division title is ▲GREAT TOY SHOWDOWN (Sandy Floor), ▲Kill The Crows (5 Min Lab) ) ▲KILLA (Geumgyuldan), and 29 others (above in alphabetical order, regardless of ranking).
In the online selection contest held earlier, the general public voted for 147 works, including 116 in the PC category and 31 in the mobile category. Games of various genres, such as action, casual, simulation, and adventure, were presented, and the final 40 works were selected by combining the online selection scores and the judges’ scores.
Jeon Dong-jin, CEO of One Store, said, “With the participation of players, the final 40 works for the Indie Showcase were decided. We ask for your interest until the exhibition at G-Star 2023 is held next week and the announcement of the final winners.”
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 develop the small and medium-sized indie game industry, we have been sponsoring ‘Indie Craft’ since 2019, and starting in 2020, we are implementing a policy of reducing commissions by half for businesses with a monthly transaction volume of 5 million won or less.
