Judges from professional media outlets and successful game development firms will weigh the qualities of each presented game or game concept, and select a winner among the field of candidates. “It is our desire to establish Indy as a central city to promote game development in the Midwest,” said Shawn Smith, Communications Director of Pop Con LLC. “The video game industry has blossomed into a $100 billion dollar a year industry and this represents a great opportunity to further establish the tech center in Indianapolis,” he added.
RIGA was established in partnership between Indianapolis-based companies Pop Con LLC; Plow Digital / Plow Games, a local interactive agency and software developer specializing in mobile applications, games, interactive environments, and web development; and Video Game Palooza, a 501(3)c organization created to support Science, Technology, Education, and Math (STEM) through the promotion and production of video games and video gaming technology.
