Taking indies
to the world stage
At Alpha Games, we’ve been supporting game developers take their creations global for years.
From translation through to voiceover recording and LQA, we understand exactly what it takes to bring a game to an international audience.
Our indie-focused offering is designed to help studios on a budget to share their worlds and creations with players around the world.
This year, we’re also launching our ‘Carmello loves indies’ localization grant, looking to help indie developers find their overseas audience.
We look forward to becoming a part of your journey to release!
Carmello loves indies
At Alpha Games, we believe that players around the world are united by one truth: we all speak the
language of play. Over the past few years, we’ve seen that the indie game development scene has been the perfect embodiment of this ethos.
Indie developers are constantly impressing with new approaches to gameplay and narrative, at times even experimenting with the very definition of ‘video game.
We’re very proud to announce that this year, we’ll be awarding one indie developer with a £5000 (USD
$5000/€5000/¥1,000,000JPY) localization grant (delivered as services) to help expand their potential audience and better position their game for success.
