Nice list, sad that we're late to the party, maybe next year.

reply

jaymission.bsky.social•193 days ago

Come onnn no Rivals of Aether 2 noms?? At least Another Crab's Treasure and In Stars and Time get some well-deserved recognition. Even if both should be up for goty IMO

reply

fatalthebaptist.bsky.social•193 days ago

Will you be allowing streamers to co stream it or will that be a next year thing perhaps?

reply

indiegameawards.gg•193 days ago

Absolutely! The more people celebrating indie together, the better 🙂

reply

fatalthebaptist.bsky.social•193 days ago

Excellent , cant wait for December

reply

n30ngemini.bsky.social•190 days ago

A lot of games I haven’t heard of except for nine sols, time to do a deep dive!

reply

thedigikast.substack.com•193 days ago

I know Tiny Glade has put up quite the fight, but i think Balatro is about to clean up.

reply

sharlot.bsky.social•193 days ago

damn no rivals 2. everything else is very well deserved tho :)

reply

testonedev.bsky.social•193 days ago

Need that award too... next year maybe 😀

sanityglitched.bsky.social•193 days ago

I scoped this a little earlier and followed the account. Very interested to see this!

reply

coffeewithcross.bsky.social•193 days ago

Yeah same. I wonder how it’s curated. Blood sweat and time, surely.

reply

sanityglitched.bsky.social•193 days ago

This is my curiosity as well!

reply

indiegameawards.gg•192 days ago

Hope this can shed some light! 🙂

reply

sanityglitched.bsky.social•192 days ago

I do appreciate you sharing this! Were nominations done by the community or are they selected by a committee?

I am quite interested to learn more about this and hope it gets a lot of attention!

reply

fireflowergames.bsky.social•184 days ago

Do you have a Youtube video or similar where you showcase all the games? Kind of like the video above (can I find that somewhere btw?) but longer.

reply

fireflowergames.bsky.social•184 days ago

A short description of each game on your website would be nice as well.

reply

indiegameawards.gg•184 days ago

All of the nominees’ store pages are hyperlinked on our website 🙂

reply

fireflowergames.bsky.social•184 days ago

Yes, that's good, but I would like to get an idea of what kind of game it is without having to click a link.

reply

ryokumas.bsky.social•193 days ago

Question: how many of the nominated games/studios are dependent on third parties - funding grants, publishers, that sort of thing?

How is Sheepy: A Short Adventure even getting overlooked by an awards program specifically for indie titles??

Do we not get to vote or..?

reply

jamroll88.bsky.social•193 days ago

This is the real game awards.

reply

thehiddenchest.bsky.social•193 days ago

If I may ask, how many judges are there? The site lists a bunch of organizations, but I dunno if that means each org gets one vote or if each org includes multiple judges

This is a very exciting looking event!

bracht.bsky.social•193 days ago

I’m sure you would agree that it’s at least VERY WEIRD that Balatro is not nominated for best Debut Game, right?

reply

theindieinformer.bsky.social•193 days ago

To celebrate as many indies as possible, each game could only be nominated for one category as well as GOTY!

Neva or Nine Sols not on Visual Design is weird. Especially Neva.

reply

indiegameawards.gg•193 days ago

Here’s a glimpse into our nomination process that addresses why you only see Neva and Nine Sols on the two categories each 🙂

ianmitchell0.bsky.social•193 days ago

All of these are great, and Harold Halibut is a CLOSE second for me, but I'm hoping for Hauntii.
That's game's world is so striking and stunning, and has an insane upgrade system.
You collect stars to manually form constellations, which show animated glimpses of your past, then you upgrade yourself!

What a great year 2024 has been. Next year I hope our game Golfr is on this list somewhere!

It would be so cool if your account created a blue sky "starter pack" of nominees, allowing users who wanting to follow the nominee indie devs and easy way to follow.

indiegameawards.gg•191 days ago

Thank you for the link! That’s actually been on the docket for nominees, presenters, and judges 🙂

reply

questioningerik.bsky.social•191 days ago

That is AMAZING to hear I had a feeling, as the Indie Game Awards feel like a true celebration of the indie community. You spotlight the innovation and groundbreaking work going on in the indie space and helping developers connect to one another lifts the Devs and community to new heights. 💕
