Hi !

Thank you for giving us this information, i didn't now this project, and it's a pretty good thing.

Good thing that Monos & Kilam1110 are giving you some help.

By the way, what place do RPG Maker games have in this website ? Are they in the forefront, or in the background ?

It is called an "expo", is it going to be a kind of museum website ?


You can make a partnership with our RPG Maker competition website by filling in this form.


Anyway, good luck !

Yes. It is called "expo" 'cause it's a kind of museum, exposition of free indie games.
About the pluace of rpgmaker's games... they are considered equal to other games made by other tool or programming languages.
I think that it's not like you make a game, but what game you make.

Not bad !

I'd like to do the same for games that we can play directly in the browser (even if the "Now loading" message is quite ugly).

However, I'm wondering how to prevent a game from hiding some malicious javascript code in its core...

Anyway, thank you for this update, and keep up the good work.

Oh, I have to update this topic! So.... let's start!

- New News Area!
Now you can see just two areas: Most Popular & Most Recent.
In the top you can see Recently Updated, clicking on the images you will go directly to the game's News Area (with the latest updates)



- Suggested Users
Now in the bottom of the User Pages, you can see 3 Users with their rank, to discover new players!

- New Stats
Added new Stats in your Game Page!

- Total Stats
Do you have more than one game? Watch the Your Games area to see the stats of all your games uploaded just in one place!

Watching movies, playing games, reading book. Spoilers are everywhere.

For this reason, we added a new way to write comments on indiexpo.
Now adding || this || you can write what do you want, hidding the text and to make the world safe for other players.
Example:


Just this? Oh, no baby.
Here it is another small feature. The Online Status.
In the Profile page (yours or another user), you can see if he is online or not!
Very easy.



We improved the design of the website, changing also the Subscribe Button!
Here it is the new one:



A new feature is the Subscribers List! Clicking on the subscribers number (near the players) you can see who is following a game. Like on instagram. Very easy



We are also improving the recommended algorithm in the home page, trying to suggest also the popular games of your favourite genre and of your language (observing your previous download and comments)

There are also two new interesting games that have the Score System of indiexpo!


Endless Combat Dungeon (for the retrogaming lovers)

Overlord's New Mansion (platform)

If you are logged, you can send your score in the online leaderboard automatically! Very easy and fast!
Try to be the BEST!

and we can continue! ... you might have noticed new icons in the Notification area, that should make visualization more immediate.



In the homepage, we added a new mini-section, showing three random games that have recently gotten over 1000 players (still in testing stage, we're trying to see if people like it and use it).

Trending Games. By visiting the pages of games uploaded in the latest 30 days, you might have noticed 'Trending Games' written in some of them- indicating that that game is receiving a lot of attention when compared to other games uploaded in that timeframe.

Thanks to the help from the author of Knightin'+, the website has been entirely translated to Ukrainian. The translation, previously only 78% done, is now complete! And the new visits from Eastern Europe are already increasing!

Is it a real community? Oh, yes! We are publishing on indiexpo blog, several reviews of Game Developers for (new) Indie Devs with interesting projects!
The first one was about the pixel art, made by the pixel artist of Fantastico Studio, and the second one (posted few days ago) was about an adventure game by an artist of Ars Goetia Studio.



It's also started a new Easter Egg hunt! If you will play this game, Rookie Hero, and you will be the first to find the Easter Egg, you will win 500 Gems!
Remember to stay logged.

Other features added!

- Share Button
We added a button that allows to share your game much more easily and rapidly on a lot of social networks to every game page. It even comes with a QR code to print or scan, to share with anyone around you!

- More automatic checks during uploads
More automatic checks were added when a game developer tryes to create a new game page. Many kinds of checks were added, the most important ones put in place to avoid spam. Now, if a game developer tryes to make a page with an external download link, the site will automatically check if there are other games with the same external link. Furthermore, every user will be able to create a maximum of two game pages per day.

- The navigation bar has been improved
While before there were both a vertical and an horizontal navigation bar, now it’s all been included in the vertical one, which will allow you to move between different areas much more easily and rapidly.

- Added slovakian and persian support
Two new languages were added, once again thanks to the help of the indiexpo community! Adding persian is a remarkable milestone, as it makes indiexpo one of the first game hosting websites completely translated in an arabic language! We’re still fixing the site architecture relative to this new language (we gotta flip everything right to left)!

- Something new everyday!
The most recent edit, instead, was adding an area to the HomePage that will change every day. One day it will show “Games that have recently gotten more than 1000 players”, the next day it will show “The most recently followed games”, and the day after “The most relevant games that have no comments”, etc.

- More small things
New search filters in Advanced Search, new FAQ area, new User Titles depending on your level, bugs fixed regarding double notifications.



A new game has been published exclusively on indiexpo, Tony & Clyde (a low-poly adventure from a brasilian team, with a great color range and a perfect design), which was the first game featured on our latest video, the “Best of August”!

We introduced Verified Accounts, the Share button

we translated indiexpo into two new languages: Filipino and Thai!



With the help of several users from the indiexpo's community we translated the latest words and now also the younger developers and gamers, from Thailand and Philippines, can use the website easly!

It's also redesigned two areas of indiexpo, Subscriptions and Your Games (for game developers)

Now you can see the latest news and updates of the followed games and to left a comment faster!



Another new feature is about the Comments Area of the Game Pages. Now you can tag another user when you left a comment and he/she will receive a notification about it! And added a new anti-spam system!
And there are other small features like the possibility (finally) to change your password and email in Settings Area and to see the new UI of the Level Area!

And more has coming!

Stay tuned and play indies!

Thanks!

Even if it was not the best way to start the new year...
When things go well, no one ever thinks that it could all go wrong...

2021 had just ended, with the team on Discord, we were discussing how this year we had obtained more subscribers and views than the previous year. There were talks of new features being added, improvements being made and how they can impact the site in 2022.

Everything was going smoothly, and we did not suspect that the unexpected was just around the corner. The first days of January the site began to have problems. The server appeared unreachable, and the site is inaccessible. We start the "standard maneuvers" and after a couple of postponements, everything was back to working.

Two days pass and the site is down again. No changes had recently been applied to Indiexpo, which made it difficult to understand what was going wrong. However, this made us understand that the problem was at the server level and not at the code level.

The "standard maneuvers" didn't help this time, so we were lucky enough to have the site programmer come to the rescue. He finds a strange connection between the site and the server. He doesn't quite understand what's going on, but he finds a way to recalibrate some settings and the site is back up and running.



But after a day the site is down again, and the error seems even more serious.

Chat started to think that the site is closing. We received emails and reports of users who were unable to access the site for days. Talks on social media had everyone guessing to what was happening on the website.

We contacted the service that sold us the server. They reassured us by saying that the problem does not depend on them, and that they do not detect problems, but the site is still down. This time it cannot stay up for a few minutes without crashing, and the programmer no longer knows how to address the faults. This was seemingly impossible.

The service staff who sold us the server propose a hardware replacement. Components that should improve the performance will be presented and replaced.

We accepted and waited anxiously.

Then the news...

We are contacted again, and we are told that during the replacement of the various components, the hard drive with all the games and data appeared to be damaged.

We immediately check the backup, and we realize that it is not up to date at all and the material that we could lose would be substantial. So understandably, it resulted in the closure of the site.



The programmer explains that if the hard drive still turns, maybe we will be able to recover some files. If it does not turn, we should go to a specialized centre to try to recover the data. However, the latter option would be very expensive, risky, and extremely difficult.

It was agreed that the work would be carried out in two attempts.

The first attempt is made.

It fails...

This 12-year long work could all end. The beginning of 2022 can mark the end of a site that is now part of our daily life.

We begin to contact a specialized centre (with exorbitant costs) and we begin to think if we should start over (impossible) or change the site entirely. We were totally disoriented and helpless.

The second attempt begins.

Success! All games and data are recovered!

The site is put back online, the backup restored and enhanced.

indiexpo still lives!

Thanks guys for being close and supporting us!

We are back to stay!

Let's do it!

Hi guys! Recently another games-platform started to mail intimidations, to paralyze our services, supposing several violations.

Luckily we found very good (senior) partners that suggested us what to do. We didn't suspended our website and those "intimidations" were retired.
This 2022 is very crazy!

But probably you are here for the updates...let's start!
Latest Updates:
- you will see your own (last) comment on top in the game-pages commented;
(so you can follow the discussion easily and fastly)
- improved the design of the pages for wide screens;
(We fixed yesterday ther last graphic-bugs, tell us if you see something strange)
- Added Greek language;
(But still not Greek games)
- Added new cards when you level up.



But the biggest update will come this summer (I hope). It needs a lot of tests but it will make the platform more competitive for players!

Continue to follow and support our social pages! We need your help!

As the end of 2022 approaches, we reflect on a year that started off with a bang but ultimately proved to be a year of transition and experimentation. Despite the challenges we faced, we were able to support several talented developers and even saw the emergence of new, amazing teams, like Red Mountain and their hit game, The Crown of Wu.

Throughout the year, our main focus was on maintaining stability and looking towards the future. And while not everything went smoothly, we learned valuable lessons and made progress towards our goals.

We are grateful to all of the amazing developers who have supported this project. Yor contributions have helped to improve the gaming experience for so many people, and we look forward to continuing to work with you as we tackle the challenges of 2023.
Here's to a new year filled with exciting gaming adventures!

... 2022 vs 2021!

indiexpo a vu une diminution d'environ 20% d'utilisateurs et de nouveaux utilisateurs en 2022 par rapport à l'année précédente. Cela signifie qu'il y avait moins de personnes qui visitaient ou s'inscrivaient sur le site web en 2022 par rapport à 2021. Une raison possible de cette baisse pourrait être le fait que la pandémie de COVID-19 a conduit à des verrouillages dans de nombreuses parties du monde en 2021, ce qui a peut-être entraîné plus de personnes restant à la maison et passant plus de temps en ligne.
Cependant, malgré cette baisse, le nombre de sessions a augmenté de 20%, avec plus de visites sur le site web en 2022 qu'au cours de l'année précédente.



Cela suggère que même si le nombre d'utilisateurs et de nouveaux utilisateurs a pu diminuer, ceux qui ont visité le site web y sont retournés plus fréquemment.

La durée moyenne des sessions a augmenté de 26%, ce qui signifie que les utilisateurs ont passé plus de temps sur le site web pendant chaque session. Cela pourrait être un signe que les utilisateurs ont trouvé les jeux indépendants intéressants et ont décidé de passer plus de temps à naviguer sur le site. Le taux de rebond, c'est-à-dire le pourcentage d'utilisateurs qui visitent le site web et qui partent sans visiter d'autres jeux, a diminué de 11%. Cela signifie que les utilisateurs ont montré plus d'intérêt pour le site web et ont consulté davantage de jeux avant de partir.
Le trafic direct, c'est-à-dire le nombre d'utilisateurs qui entrent l'adresse du site web directement dans leur navigateur, a augmenté de 39%. Cela signifie qu'il y a eu une augmentation du nombre d'utilisateurs qui ont visité le site web en entrant l'adresse directement, vraisemblable likely parce qu'ils connaissaient déjà le site web ou en avaient entendu parler auparavant. Le trafic par référence, c'est-à-dire le nombre d'utilisateurs qui ont atteint le site web en cliquant sur un lien sur un autre site web, a augmenté de 43%. Cela signifie qu'il y a eu une augmentation du nombre d'utilisateurs qui ont découvert le site web grâce à des liens sur d'autres sites web.



Lors de l'analyse de l'emplacement géographique des joueurs de la plateforme indiexpo, on observe que le trafic en provenance de Chine a diminué de 28%, tandis que le trafic en provenance des États-Unis, de l'Inde, de l'Allemagne et de la France a augmenté de 12%, 53%, 112% et 15%, respectivement. Ces données montrent la diffusion du site web dans différentes parties du monde !

De plus, le nombre de jeux en ligne joués a augmenté de 24% en 2022 par rapport à 2021, et également le nombre de jeux téléchargés a augmenté de 35% en 2022 !
En ce qui concerne l'analyse du trafic acquis par le site web Indiexpo, il est important de mentionner les sources à partir desquelles la plupart des utilisateurs viennent et comment ces sources ont changé au cours des deux années. Par exemple, il y a eu une augmentation du trafic direct et par référence, tandis que le trafic de recherche organique et de réseaux sociaux a diminué. En fournissant des informations plus détaillées et complètes sur la situation et les performances du site web indiexpo au fil du temps, il est possible de mieux comprendre les progrès du site web et de repérer les domaines potentiels à améliorer.

En parlant de jeux spécifiques, nous pouvons voir que des jeux comme Kingdom of Pixels 2D MOBA, Towerland ont connu une augmentation du nombre de parties jouées en 2022 par rapport à 2021. Cependant, des jeux tels que Il Viaggio del Saggio noctis ont connu une baisse du nombre de parties jouées.

En fin de compte, bien que le nombre d'utilisateurs et de nouveaux utilisateurs ait diminué en 2022 par rapport à 2021, il y a eu une augmentation du nombre de sessions, de la durée moyenne des sessions et du nombre de jeux téléchargés. De plus, il y a eu une augmentation du trafic direct et par référence, tandis que le trafic de recherche organique et de réseaux sociaux a diminué. En analysant les données géographiques, il est également possible de voir comment le site web a étendu sa portée dans le monde. Enfin, certains jeux indépendants ont connu une augmentation du nombre de parties jouées en 2022, tandis que d'autres ont connu une baisse.

En analysant ces données, il est possible de mieux comprendre comment le site web Indiexpo a performé en 2022 par rapport à 2021 et de déterminer les domaines où des améliorations peuvent être apportées pour attirer davantage d'utilisateurs et de nouveaux utilisateurs. En fin de compte, en continuant à suivre et à analyser les données de performance du site web, il sera possible de prendre des décisions éclairées pour améliorer l'expérience de jeu des utilisateurs et de renforcer la popularité du site web auprès d'un public encore plus large.

... 2022 vs 2021!

indiexpo saw approximately a 20% decrease in users and new users in 2022 compared to the previous year. This means that there were fewer people visiting or signing up for the website in 2022 compared to 2021. One possible reason for this decrease could be the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns in many parts of the world in 2021, which may have resulted in more people staying at home and spending more time online.
However, despite this decrease, the number of sessions increased by 20%, with more visits to the website in 2022 than in the previous year.



This suggests that even though the number of users and new users may have decreased, those who did visit the website were returning more frequently.

The average duration of sessions increased by 26%, meaning that users spent more time on the website during each session. This could be a sign that users found the indie games interesting and decided to spend more time browsing it. The bounce rate, or the percentage of users who visit the website and then leave without visiting any other games, decreased by 11%. This means that users showed more interest in the website and browsed more games before leaving.
Direct traffic, or the number of users who type the website's address directly into their browser, increased by 39%. This means that there was an increase in the number of users who visited the website by typing the address directly, likely because they already knew about the website or had heard about it previously. Referral traffic, or the number of users who reached the website by clicking on a link on another website, increased by 43%. This means that there was an increase in the number of users who discovered the website through links on other websites.



When analyzing the geographic location of indiexpo website players, it is observed that traffic from China decreased by 28%, while traffic from America, India, Germany, and France increased by 12%, 53%, 112%, and 15%, respectively. These data show the website's spread to different parts of the world!

Additionally, the number of online games played increased by 24% in 2022 compared to 2021, and also the games downloaded increased by 35% in 2022!
In terms of analyzing traffic acquired by the Indiexpo website, it is important to mention the sources from which the majority of users come and how these sources have changed over the two years. For example, there has been an increase in direct and referral traffic, while organic search and social network traffic have decreased. By providing more detailed and complete information about the indiexpo website's situation and its performance over time, it is possible to gain a better understanding of the website's progress and identify potential areas for improvement.

Talking about specific games, we can see that games like Kingdom of Pixels 2D MOBA, Towerland, uploaded during the 2022, were the most played during this year. Also Il Viaggio del Saggio, a Rpg Maker game still only in italian, gained a lot of players!

Overall, the data for the indiexpo website in 2022 shows a mix of both positive and negative trends compared to the previous year. While there was a decrease in the number of users and new users and a decrease in organic search and social network traffic, there were also increases in the number of sessions, games per session, average session duration, and direct and referral traffic.

By considering all of these factors and taking into account possible external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to get a more complete picture of the website's performance and identify opportunities for growth and improvement!
