The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients.

Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq

This is a good exploration, but I’d like to see more diversity for these articles. I’m by no means influential in the games industry, but I have gotten harassed in games not only for being a woman, but also specifically for being a Black woman.

Black women and women of color get it on two fronts

Submissions for the A MAZE. Awards are now open. Early bird fee if you submit before end of 2025 or pay what you want "with the help of the Supporter Tickets" — not sure how that works exactly but if you're from an underrepresented group in games or can't afford the fee I would suggest writing them!

A cropped screenshot from one of our presentations. It reads: "All images and icons used in this document are of own creation, with the exception of the slides with media inspirations and press screenshots. No stock images were utilized. We have never nor will ever make use of AI-generated graphics."

Not a big announcement but we want to make this clear: we have never nor will ever use generative AI.

And that goes for all kind of assets. No placeholders mid development, no presentation materials, no automated localization or voice acting replacement.
