Alrighty friends, it’s time for the Indie Game Awards, and we’re here to cover the Award Winners, the nominees, and everything in between. While there are no new announcements during this awards show, there is still plenty to look forward to. After a brief introduction, we’re ready to rock and roll.
Black Salt Games Presents Debut Game
Last year’s winners, Black Salt Games (Dredge) are live to present the first award, the first Debut Game. The nominees are as follows:
- Arranger
- Lil’ Guardsman
- Little Kitty, Big City
- Loddlenaut
- Mullet Madjack
- Worldless
And the winner is: Little Kitty, Big City. A great start to this awards ceremony.
Matt Wood, developer of Little Kitty, Big City, is now live with plenty of additional friends. This is the first game that he’s debuted and is happy to show off all of his kitty friends. He seems incredibly thrilled to be picked as the winner, and all of his pals are happy to be there, too.
Leaders in Accessibility
Now, we’ve moved on to the award for Accessibility. The Nominees are:
- Another Crabs Treasure
- Elsie
- Periphery Synthetic
- Pine Hearts
- Steamworld Heist II
- Surmount: A Mountain Climbing Adventure
And the winner is: Another Crab’s Treasure! Any game where a crab gets a gun is good with me.
Nick, the studio head at Aggro Crab, is now speaking about the Souls-likes genre and how it’s one of the least accessible genres for Accessibility. He also makes a joke about giving Kril a gun, which is the best feature in any recent game. It’s a goofy feature, but it genuinely makes the game easy enough to approach for everyone. Accessibility should be fun, as he says.
