We won the Indie Game Challenge Grand Prize!

Posted by Starogre - February 12th, 2012

Glaiel-Gamer and I just got back from Las Vegas at a conference called DICE. The Indie Game Challenge hosted 10 teams of finalists and they treated all the attendees of the conference EXTREMELY well. Definitely one of the best I've been to. Our game Closure won the grand prize of $100,000! We plan to release on PS3 within the next few months, and PC/Mac a little later. Business stuff takes awhile :/

We post most of our updates on the facebook page if you'd like to follow along with our progress.

We're still taking in the shock from winning, it's quite surreal and an enormous achievement for our whole team, considering the types of industry professionals that were judging.

until next time...

Holy Crap!!! That's awesome!! Wait, so is the PC version going to be on steam or is it from a single site?

Starogre 2012-02-12 12:55:30

Can't say yet, but not going to say no to Steam :P

What the heck are you clowns gonna do with all that cash?

kokonut10 2012-02-12 17:45:08

Not sure whether I should get the PC or PS3 version. Are there going to be any major differences between the two?

Starogre 2012-02-12 17:45:08

PS3 version will be guaranteed to work on your playstation. we have no idea at this point what specs will be required for PC until later. no in-game differences at this point - except that you'll be able to access files easier on your PC, if you're into trying to unlock debug and non-user-friendly editor mode
