2014 Independent Games Festival Announces Main Competition Finalists

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Independent Games Festival (IGF) juries have announced the Main Competition finalists for its prestigious 16th annual awards, honoring the most influential and outstanding development in independent video games. The IGF has nominated over 30 extraordinary game titles released in the past year.

Candidates for the 2014 IGF Awards were distributed to nearly 375 elite judges for evaluation. Expert juries specializing in distinct disciplines for each category then selected the IGF finalists following playthroughs and recommendations from the more than 650 IGF entrants. The numbers of entries have increased significantly from previous years, and are a testament to the growing popularity and importance of the IGF.

This year’s finalists are led by various standout titles nominated for multiple awards including Simogo’s hybrid audio/visual/textual mobile game DEVICE 6, Lucas Pope’s darkly humorous cold war immigration station simulation game Papers, Please, and hand-crafted stop-motion musical detective game Dominique Pamplemousse in “It’s All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings!”, from creator Deirdra Kiai.

Multiple juries also recognized games including The Yawhg, a richly illustrated multiplayer choose-your-own-adventure experience from Damian Sommer and artist Emily Carroll, and Galactic Cafe’s self-aware meta-adventure The Stanley Parable, while the Nuovo jury honored ‘abstract… and unconventional game development’ with a unique selection of games including Peter Lu and Lea Schönfelder’s Kinect-enhanced life-sim Perfect Woman.

The IGF Awards will take place the evening of Wednesday, March 19th at the San Francisco Moscone Convention Center. The IGF Awards will precede the Game Developers Choice Awards, which recognizes the best games of the year across all sections of video game development. Winners of the IGF Awards will also receive nearly $60,000 of prizes in various categories, including the $30,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize.
