History

IndieGala started out by offering video game bundles, similar to Humble Bundle, with games offered generally only for Microsoft Windows, and usually with digital rights management (DRM). The first IndieGala bundle was released on December 5, 2011.[4]

In 2013 IndieGala started focusing on publishing and independently developing video games. The first published and co-developed video game was Blockstorm, which was released in 2014 in early access.[5].
