To be recognized is truly a dream and something we never considered during development.

This was awesome! Production was tight and clean, but most importantly it focused on the devs and their stories. Especially after the awful year for developers, this remains the important focal point for video games in the 21st.
The inaugural Indie Game Awards is officially in the books. Congratulations to all of our recipients!
Revisit all of the remarkable moments and segments from our first ceremony on the official website.
We’ll see you in 2025. Until then: play more indies.

As someone who consumes a ton of YouTube content, it drives me up the wall that so many YouTubers feel almost obligated to take potshots at games journalists. “Can you believe IGN finally gave Sonic a good score? Not that IGN has any credibility!” Then why bring them up if they’re so irrelevant?
