The Indie Roadshow, a groundbreaking initiative that provided indie game developers with a platform to promote their games with 17K micro-streamers for free, attracted a lot of attention after the launch. Over 220 devs applied to participate in the initiative, yet only 50 were selected to join. Even though Indie Roadshow is still in progress, there are already incredible results to share:
- 47 devs successfully launched their campaigns on Drope.me
- Over 600 micro-influencers took part in those campaigns and streamed for over 120 hours on Twitch (plus the content creation on YouTube, TikTok, and community promo)
- 20K streamers’ followers engaged in those campaigns, too
- $6K were paid to streamers for promoting games during Indie Roadshow
The decision to expand the initiative is a testament to the high demand from indie developers seeking exposure for their games. These additional 15 spots offer more opportunities for talented developers to present their creations to a wider audience and benefit from Drope.me's AI-enabled influencer marketing platform.
Indie game developers who wish to take part in the extended edition of Indie Roadshow can apply here. Selected developers will get such benefits:
- Showcasing their game to 17K micro streamers
- Getting a $150 grant for game promotion
- Meeting their future game ambassadors
To qualify for the Indie Roadshow, developers must ensure their products were released on Steam up to six months ago or will be launched by the end of November 2023, have English localization, and can be found on Twitch.
