    By 인디게임닷컴 편집부2025년 07월 19일Updated:2025년 08월 04일2 Mins Read

    The Korea Indie Game Association (KIGA) has announced a game development contest in collaboration with NC AI, aimed at indie creators. The contest centers around VARCO 3D, an AI-powered 3D asset creation tool, and seeks to lower entry barriers to 3D game development while encouraging creative use of AI.

    Contest Highlights:

    • Total prize pool: KRW 7.5 million
    • All participants receive official participation certificates
    • Internship advantage for student participants at NC AI
    • Publicity support for winners through NC events and media

    What Is VARCO 3D?

    VARCO 3D is an AI-driven tool that allows rapid creation of high-quality 3D assets essential for game development. Aimed at small studios and indie creators, it significantly reduces time and costs—assets can be produced in under 10 minutes.

    During the contest, participants will get free access to VARCO 3D as a SaaS, and it is mandatory that over 50% of core in-game assets are created using this tool.

    Contest Timeline:

    • Application Period: July 18 (Fri) – July 31 (Thu), 2025
    • Development Period: August 1 (Fri) – August 31 (Sun), 2025
    • Winners Announced: September 22 (Mon), 2025

    Awards:

    • Grand Prize (1 team) – KRW 3,000,000
    • Excellence Award (1 team) – KRW 2,000,000
    • Merit Awards (5 teams) – KRW 500,000 each

    All participants will receive official proof of participation. Student participants will gain extra points for future internship applications with NC AI.

    Promotion & Exposure:

    Winning entries will be showcased at NC AI events and across various media platforms as best practices. Depending on the project, selected winners may also be given keynote presentation opportunities and additional promotional support.

    Supporting Indie Creativity with AI

    A representative from KIGA noted:

    “VARCO 3D offers a practical solution to the technical and financial hurdles indie developers often face in 3D production. Through continued collaboration with tech companies, we aim to build platforms that empower creative challenges within the indie community.”
