GDC Gallery: The 2007 Independent Games Festival Awards

[Gamasutra contributor Vincent Diamante has been documenting this year's Game Developers Conference in visual form - here's his look at the 2007 Independent Games Festival Awards, held last night at the Moscone Center.]

Simon Carless & Jamil Moledina introduce the awards.

The Student Showcase nominees are... showcased!

Fez wins out, fez worn on stage.

Comments

Keep up the good work Simon :) Do you happen to know if and when a video of the awards will be posted online? I thought G4 was airing it, but I have no idea when..

They MIGHT show some highlights on X-Play this week, but I believe the highlights show is somewhere around March 1st. We should get video for IGF.com in the next few days.
