Indie City Games

We're SO back on our 3rd year of Chicago Indie Game Showcase (CIGS)! Join us 9/13 at the Ravenswood Event Center! CIGS is a one-day con showcasing amazing indie games from Chicago & Midwest Area. We'll also have guest speakers, DJ sets, tattoo artists, and so much more! Tickets: bit.ly/450rk88

HAPPY CHICAGHOUL! I'm honored to get the opportunity to make this year's poster for @indiecitygames.org Today is the day that community voting opens, so go check out some amazing indie games from the amazing windy city 🔥

Some silly alien work for the upcoming #chicaghoul game jam from @indiecitygames.org. You may or may not get to play with this little nightmare creature as a pet 🐕🐶🐱🐈 #gamedev #gameart #blender #chicago #gamejam

If anyone wants to give us $400 we'll give you a bunch of merch AND give that money to local devs instead of a bunch of corpos

Wrote about my experience showcasing (and doing a talk about) Divinuet at @indiecitygames.org CIGS!

I miss CIGS and playing TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (@sonki-boy.bsky.social) with rat James 😔 #cigs #cigs2026

@indiecitygames.org are the absolute best for putting CIGS on once again and letting me exhibit Bolero!!! Both my stations had a player like the entire time. It was a big confidence boost 😁 And I am eternally thankful to my partner for helping man the booth for 8 freakin hours!!!!!!

I was so unsure what the reaction to Divinuet would be at the showcase yesterday, but people said so many nice things about it. I'm so glad my weird lil game is resonating with people 🥹 This was my first time showcasing a game, and I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for all you do @indiecitygames.org 💗

Between PAX and now Chicago Indie Game Showcase my wallet is crying. But there’s just so many cool gets how can a girl resist?! Thank you @indiecitygames.org for a wonderful weekend!

Had a wonderful time at CIGS yesterday :] @indiecitygames.org

My voice is blown out, my feet hurt like crazy, and I had a blast. Thank you again so, so much to @indiecitygames.org for hosting CIGS 2026 and inviting the Chicago ttrpg scene to join in the fun. If you haven't gone before, I strongly recommend checking it out!

It's so unreal to see all the work I've done for CIGS is now over! Overall enjoyed making all the designs and content leading up to this showcase, plus other things behind the scenes. Really appreciate @indiecitygames.org and the community for making this all happen!!! 🥹💖

First year of tabletop at CIGS was an incredible success!! Thank you everyone who came, volunteered, and exhibited — literally would not have happened without all of you. And a massive thanks to @indiecitygames.org for putting it on! The growth from year 2 to 3 was amazing. Here’s to CIGS!

Thanks @indiecitygames.org - we loved showing Cat Secretary at CIGS! #indiegames

Had an absolute blast at CIGS today! Thanks to everyone who tried Super Cucumber, and to @indiecitygames.org for putting on a bomb-ass show!

CIGS, hosted by @indiecitygames.org , was awesome! So glad that tabletop is involved now. Can't wait to do it again next year!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Chicago Indie Game Showcase yesterday! Shoutout to everyone who came by the booth yesterday and extra huge thank you to the @indiecitygames.org crew for their hard work to make everything possible! 🤍🩵❤️🖤

Honestly I've been MIA in local game dev stuff since the pandemic and in recent years my relationship w/ game dev went from a core part of my identity to 'this is just my job' @indiecitygames.org threw one hell of an event with CIGS and it reminded me why I started doing it all in the first place.
