A Scene – The Making Of: IGF 2010

Posted by Mr. Podunkian at 6:10 pm on January 6th, 2010

The Festival is particularly keen to give constructive, written feedback to Main Competition entrants — even if they did not place as a finalist. As a result, over 1500 written, anonymized judge comments will be passed along to entrants in the next few days, an important part of deriving value and takeaway from entering the IGF.

“Sadly I think this game suffers from being just another puzzle platformer, which basically hurts every game that isn’t Braid.”

    Wow. I guess it’s a good thing the IGF didn’t nominate any puzzle platformers for multiple awards this year.

    Braid is the only game allowed to be a puzzle platformer. All hail Jonathan Blow.

    There are just too many pixel games (esp platformers) coming out of the tigsource crowd these days, it’s kind of lost its charm.

    ah yes, damn the indie game makers for independently making the games they want to make! D: so charmless, so already done
