Welcome to 100% Indie

By March 1, 2013 7:55 am

As part of a new initiative sponsored by mobile games publisher Chillingo and hardware manufacturer Samsung, 100% Indie has been established to help promote, bolster and enhance the independent Android games community. Sign up now to put your name on the list for a 100 percent revenue share on your Android games via Samsung Apps.

Although much of our focus in on the Android platform, our remit is broad and exciting, and our partnership with Chillingo and Samsung means our website isn’t reliant on advertising for support.

This website is your forum, and your first resource in indie game development. We’re here to give a voice to programmers, help newcomers get started in the games industry, and to promote the indie arena through inspirational, informative content. Feedback on these features is essential, so make full use of the comments section below each article to actively drive the direction of 100% Indie as we grow and evolve.

We’ve also got a community forum ready to help you engage with other members of the industry, with players and with new markets. Sign up to the 100% Indie site now, and you get immediate access to the forums where you can talk about the industry, find help in making your games, and even put together your own creative teams.

And most of all we want to hear what you’ve got to say. Programmers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, producers — everyone from the creative arts has a story to tell, or advice to give, or a service to offer that helps the gaming community to better connect with their passion. Get in touch with us to discuss submitting a feature to 100% Indie, arranging an interview or showcasing yourself and your story.

We’re also here to bring you all the latest, hottest news from the independent creative industries, so send your news tips to the editorial team. Exclusives stand a far better chance of publication and promotion, so make us your window to the indie world and get your message out there fast and effectively.

Above all, we’re here to help you raise your game, in every conceivable sense.

Welcome to 100% Indie.

    I am indi developer. I developed over 20 games for flash and mobile platform.

      Hi there! If you have some Android games you want to put on Samsung Apps and earn a 100 percent revenue share, click the “Sign Up” button in the top left corner. Welcome on board!

  2. Len Schiedel

    I have an image editor (ImageFactory) with stylus support that is only missing copy-protection in order to release. What copy protection does the store require/support and is this type of app allowed on this indie category?

    • Spanner

      Hi there Len. Sounds like a great app, but the 100% Indie program is only for Android games on Samsung Apps right now, I’m afraid.

      Best of luck with the app, though! There’s still no reason you can’t self publish it on Samsung Apps (and I believe the DRM SDK you’re referring to is called Zirconia. Check out the developer.samsung.com pages for more info).

  3. Alejandro Ramallo

    Interesting site. I’m always looking for new places to distribute my apps and games, and this one looks awesome! :D

    • Spanner

      Indeed it is! Please do sign up, and our team will get in touch regarding your game for Samsung Apps!

  4. Tom Acunzo

    Hi All

    I signed up. I am a indie game developer. My game Greedy Ducks is out on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Nook, Kindle Fire and Google Play. The app biz is a very tough market to please. I hope this site is a great way for the small fish to get noticed. I hope they can also put a stop to those app scammers out there that somehow pass by those initial so called strict app submission reviews. I have a new word game on the way… News will be posted on my web site. Best of luck to everyone. :)

    • Spanner

      It’s a very tough market out there, especially for indies, so it’s our intention to help people get noticed. Of course, it’s no bad thing also earning 100% revenue!

      Great to have you on board Tom, and best of luck to you, too!

  5. Pavao Ivanček

    I signed up! Waiting for account verification…

    We developed a game, Prince of Balls, and we are definitely gonna check you out. You check us out, too!

  6. Simone Anderson

    Once your game has been approved by 100% Indie and the Samsung App store, how are they promoted on this site or Samsung Apps? I don’t see any links here or a category in the store for 100% Indie program games.

    • Spanner

      Hi Simone.

      We have the forums, where new game releases and upcoming games can be announced.

      And we run features that are written by members of the industry, which are about a game’s development, advice, inspiration and so forth — this is a great promotional outlet, but it must also be an informative and entertaining read for everyone else.

      There’s more about this on the Contribute page (from the main menu at the top), so please do get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell the indie gaming world.

  7. Jamie

    I’m curious, what’s in this for you? How does Chillingo generate any revenue or derive benefit from this endeavour?

  8. Lester Green

    i think i heard about this not too long ago, still interesting though,
