Hello, this is LabStaff.

We sincerely thank all of our users who consistently show their love for indie games by sharing valuable feedback and warm support with creators through the INDIE BOOST LAB.

The core value of the INDIE BOOST LAB goes beyond simply earning rewards. It is a testing program dedicated to improving game quality and providing practical assistance to indie game creators through the sincere and genuine feedback of our users.

Recently, however, we have consistently observed cases of insincere feedback and abnormal participation. This has made it difficult for creators to effectively utilize the test results for their development. Such behavior not only undermines the hard work of the majority of users who participate thoughtfully, but it also harms the creators who are eagerly awaiting meaningful feedback.

Therefore, to return greater benefits to genuine users who provide high-quality feedback and to foster a healthy testing environment that practically aids creators, STOVE Indie will be reorganizing the reward structure and strengthening penalties for fraudulent participation.

■ INDIE BOOST LAB Reward Restructuring Notice

We have significantly increased the rewards for the "Best Feedback," which practically contributes to the game's development. This restructuring ensures that benefits are focused on those who play diligently and leave thoughtful opinions.

※ Effective Date: Applies to titles starting on or after July 22, 2026.
※ Additional Benefits: Additional rewards will be granted to the users most frequently selected for Best Feedback each quarter.

■ Strengthening Penalties for Fraudulent Participation

To protect the majority of users who participate fairly and to provide practical help to creators, we are significantly strengthening the penalty criteria for fraudulent users. If fraudulent participation is detected, you will be excluded from the INDIE BOOST LAB reward eligibility according to the criteria below, and future participation may be restricted.

STOVE Indie believes that your affectionate support and sharp, constructive criticism are the greatest driving forces behind the growth of indie games.

Through this restructuring, INDIE BOOST LAB aims to become a reliable testing program that provides creators with the feedback necessary for growth, while offering rightful rewards that match the value of our dedicated users' efforts.

We will continue to strive to make STOVE a platform where both creators and users can journey together joyfully.

Thank you.
