The next all-virtual conference will feature a wide array of business, marketing, and licensing sessions with representatives from developers, publishers, investors, marketing firms and more.
“Tripwire Presents has really stepped up and their support is allowing us to do many of the things I had envisioned for IndieGameBusiness from the start,” says Jay Powell, CEO of The Powell Group and Founder of IGB. “This partnership allows us to grow that vision dramatically for the first time and help support more indie developers with their dream of making and releasing a game.”

About Tripwire Interactive

The studio’s latest project, Maneater, breaks new ground in the popular action RPG genre and finds players taking on the role of a deadly shark with the uncanny ability to evolve as it feeds.
Since then, Tripwire Interactive has expanded its business with the publishing division, Tripwire Presents, turning its experience and resources to include publishing titles spanning multiple platforms and genres from other talented independent studios. Tripwire Presents aims to help like-minded independent studios bring their titles to market, including Chivalry 2 developed by Torn Banner Studios, Espire 1: VR Operative and Espire 2 developed by Digital Lode, DECEIVE INC. developed by Sweet Bandits Studios and Road Redemption developed by EQ Games and Pixel Dash Studios.
