It is our mission to make sure that everyone truly passionate about game development has a chance at becoming a self supporting game developer. This starts small in Groningen, the Netherlands, but we aim high so we can find how far we can go.
Mission / Vision
It is our vision that at one point the world sports multiple Indietopias: Indietopia Hamburg, Indietopia Tokyo, Indietopia New York etc. We will strive to make any Indietopia the place where Game Developers easily share knowledge, learn from each other and inspire each other. A place where customers know they always get the Serious Game that they want. A place where aspiring game developers know they at least have a fair shot at earning their money with game development.

Merijn de Boer
Starting a new ‘point and click’ adventure at the Indietopia Accelerator! I will point developers in the right direction while making it click between them and potential clients.
My profile in a nutshell: ample experience with writing for the web & printed media. Healthy, hands-on knowledge of SEO (e.g. Google analytics) and solid understanding of full-service communication strategies.
From my experience at Softonic (2009-2013) and my own company La Palabra (2007-2009) I was able to help other companies grow and lead projects toward their desired outcome. As a project manager I take pride in both managing and participating, as a (copy)writer I truly enjoy creating quality content that helps a client show its best side and appeal to a broad audience. In my role of communications lead, I have helped set up solid marketing and communications strategies to help establish brands and maintain healthy relations with the target market.
