    By 인디게임닷컴 편집부2025년 06월 30일Updated:2025년 07월 01일2 Mins Read

    Hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), organized by the Korea Game Developers Association (KGDA), and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, GIGDC aims to discover original, creative game content and foster a vibrant indie development culture. The contest plays a key role in broadening the foundation of Korea’s game industry.

    This year’s contest embraces the slogan:
    “Create Game, Hello World! – Turn Imagination into Reality, Connect Through Games!”,
    and is open to talented indie game developers around the globe. GIGDC 2025 continues its mission to identify promising individuals who will lead the next generation of the global game industry.

    GIGDC 2025 features five award categories: three for game production and two for game planning. The grand prize winners in each category will receive the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award, one of the most prestigious recognitions in Korea’s cultural content sector.

    This year, the total prize pool has been significantly increased, offering even greater incentive for indie developers to participate.

    Post-Competition Support for Winners

    • Expert-led training in game development and live service
    • One-on-one customized mentoring
    • Professional interview video production
    • Practical workshops on entering the global game market

    This comprehensive approach reflects GIGDC’s growing role as a launchpad for indie developers, helping them transition not only into the domestic market but also onto the global stage.
