Opening for the Game Developers Choice Awards, the Independent Games Festival Awards offered a platform for indie developers to showcase the best of the best. It’s serious business too. Outside of the exposure they will receive from winning an award there’s over $50K, an assured place on Steam for all finalists and access to the Microsoft Development Network for the winners.
