Out of all the jobs in the gaming industry an IGF judge would be the one I want. Out of all the games that come out in a single year, the finalists in the Independent Game Festival awards are always on the ones with the most innovative design and unique gameplay.
The finalists for the 15th annual IGF have been announced. It’s a bit of a long list of games and many you have never heard of, but these are the building blocks for the next generation of video game and video game designers. The awards are not to sniffed at.
Today, Brazil Games is pleased to announce the new date for Brazil’s Independent Games (BIG) Festival, the largest and most important independent games festival in Latin America. The eighth edition of BIG Festival will take place at the Frei Caneca Convention Center in São Paulo from May 5 to 9, 2021.
