Indie Showcase 2026 Winners Announced

20 July 2026 by Sarah Colby

The Indie Showcase is an opportunity for indie game developers to get their unpublished game seen & experienced by one of the biggest game dev audiences in the UK.

After an initial judging process, based on the games’ innovation & originality, the 10 finalists showcased their games within the Develop:Brighton Expo, giving thousands of attendees the chance to play, discover & champion their work.

Two awards were up for grabs – the Indie Showcase Award, judged by a panel of industry experts – and the People’s Choice Award, as voted for by Develop attendees.

A huge congratulations to:

  • Indie Showcase Winner: The Restricted Index, by Ursa Minus
  • People’s Choice Winner: Zombie Dog, by Brickmouse

“We were delighted to be part of the Indie Showcase alongside so many cool and diverse games. Winning this award is especially exciting as a brand new studio attending Develop for the first time. What a great week by the sea!” Joel Green, Ursa Minus
