![Do you, small / solo dev, know if your game is in IGF this year? No, do you REALLY? Have you asked your publisher? I unfortunately must relay to you that I can name three examples this year of high-profile IGF 2025 games that were submitted either:
By the indie’s publisher, without informing the developer at all
By the indie’s publisher’s externally contracted PR firm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you want to know why this is a FUCKING BAD IDEA? Here’s an example of a thing that happened this year:
Judge: Hi! I’m having some technical issues with the build. Could you help me out?
PR Company who submitted: We’ll get in touch with the developer and get back to you.

*THREE WEEKS OUT OF THE 1 MONTH JUDGING PERIOD PASS*
—
Judge: Hello????? Judging is almost over. Is everything okay?
PR Company who submitted: We’ll have an updated build for you when the game comes out [note: That’s gonna be after judging is over]
Result: Your game has wasted its opportunity completely.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2jjromh55tf7pp7s4hsvurf4/bafkreifowkvvhjwzzryqblcppotoxpjualnpq537xshqmrrtfk5st7gxoq)
