The Independant Games Festival
Hey folks. You know what the IGF is, right? every year independant game developers (wait, thats us!) compete to win fame and glory at the Independant Games Festival. Tom and I entered last year with BR’s Climate Chaos. We got through the first stage, but our judge couldn’t understand what the characters were saying to each other so he didn’t complete the game! Ohhh what a shame, right?
Anyway I’m sure we’re going to enter again this year. Maybe we’ll do a little better?
The due date for 2009 entries is the 1st of November (2008) so get to work, guys! How awesome would it be to have one of our own win this thing? 
Last years winner was Crayon Physics Deluxe from Kloonigames. They won $20,000 too! (I wouldn’t mind that…)
These are the awards:
Seumas McNally Grand Prize ($20,000)
Excellence In Visual Art ($2,500)
Excellence In Audio ($2,500)
Excellence in Design ($2,500)
Innovation Award ($2,500)
Technical Excellence ($2,500)
Audience Award ($2,500)
Man I’d be thrilled with any of those…if Tom Fulp can do it…

Is the audience award the game that gets played the most?
Surely you guys don’t count as independent game developers if you do it as a company making a living out of it?
You’re getting confued between Independant and Amateur. Armor is Independantly funded by Mr Dan
Hmmmm are you sure you’re not trading under Armorgames Inc?
Independant from google: “not controlled by a party or interest group ”
I mean, it’s hardly fair that you get funding (in the form of a 9-5 job for example) while everyone else has to create games in between their day job.
I am gonna try to make a game for this contest!!
the prizes are amazing!
