For Immediate Release:
March 15th, 2021

Indie World Order presents IWOCon 2021, an innovative and groundbreaking digital convention for indie games! With over 200 exhibitors, each with a digital booth allowing visitors easy access to information such as storefronts, official websites, social media and trailers, IWOCon is the perfect ground to explore and discover the best indie games from all over the world. The conference app is launching on March 26th and will be available for download for FREE on Steam, whereas the conference will be a week long, from March 26th to April 2nd, featuring a series of events such as gaming live streams, guest speakers and panels.

Besides the virtual booth visits, the conference app also offers numerous fun side activities. Sail a pirate ship, fire some cannons, wear pirate hats or parrots, ride rollercoasters, try some paragliding or shred a guitar, attend a metal concert, all with your pirate avatar of choice! Visit as many booths as you can and enter some awesome prize giveaways! All set in a beautifully rendered, stylized, pirate-themed, stress-free and safe environment.
IWOCon’s conference app is built in Unreal Engine 4 and will be available for download, free, for PC, on Steam, on March 26th, 2021.

Indie World Order wants to thank all the exhibitors, streamers and guest speakers, but most of all wants to thank the amazing sponsors: Intel GameDev Boost, HELM Systems, Reallusion, Articy, Indie Game Business, Stream Volcano, Pineapple Works, Galaxy Hound and Terra Localizations.
“We came up with the idea of launching a digital convention back in March 2020, when the pandemic was taking over the entire globe and we witnessed event after event getting canceled, leaving no alternative ways for indie game developers to promote their games through a centralized effort. Indie World Order’s mission is to support and promote independent game developers and creatives, so we worked really hard to provide a viable alternative solution, not only to the developers but also to gamers who still longed for a pleasant break from the daily realities we have all been experiencing for more than a year now. We are really happy to be able to finally bring IWOCon to the game development and gaming communities and we couldn’t have done this without the amazing people inside our organization as well as the supportive sponsors who realized early on how invaluable an event such as this can be.” says Myron Mortakis, CEO of Indie World Order.
