Gamecity XP Boost: TikTok for Indie Devs

Learn what opportunities TikTok offers for indie games with organic and paid content and how you can make the most of it.

TikTok has quickly become one of the most popular social media platforms, especially among the age groups of 14 - 29. The algorithm can make any video go viral, regardless of the number of followers, and build strong communities at the same time.

This provides great opportunities for indie devs but it can be challenging to find the right format or to jump onto the next meme in this fast-moving culture, nevermind switching communication entirely to video. So we want to figure out how to be successful as an indie dev on TikTok, both with organic and paid content. For this topic we invited top experts to discuss their experience with the platform:

- Kathrin Radtke, Spellgarden Games (https://www.tiktok.com/@spellgardengames)

- Tobias Graff, Mooneye Studios (https://www.tiktok.com/@mooneyestudios)

- Alexander Bezik, TikTok

The event is free of charge. Participants can ask their questions via chat. All you need is a device that can play the live stream, chat, and a stable internet connection. No webcam or microphone is required.
