Come back on November 16th for the Steam link!
so, what is it?
Kicking off on November 16th, Crowbar Autumn is a week-long event dedicated to an immaculate year of indie launches. We all know visibility will be quite tough during that week in particular. With our debut Steam event, we want to carve out a space for players looking for an alternative to sunbathing on the beaches of Miami and discover some of the year's best indies.
is my game eligible?
Independent developers and publishers who have already launched or will be launching a game between January 1st, 2026 and December 31st, 2026 are encouraged to submit for consideration. This applies to 1.0 releases and Early Access launches, as well as games that have received substantial content updates within the eligibility window. Games targeting a Q1 2027 launch are also welcome to submit for consideration.
Our spring event, Bloom Fest, will focus on upcoming indies targeting Q2 2027 and beyond. Bloom Fest submissions will open shortly after the holiday season.
will there be a video showcase?
Unfortunately not! Crowbar Autumn (and all of our future events) will be exclusively hosted on Steam. If you’re familiar with our previous work, we know that may be disappointing to hear. Never say never, of course. But with crowbar, our focus is to be kinder to ourselves and maintain a proper work-life balance.
Hydrate, get plenty of rest, and play indies.
