IGF finalists announced

We’re all still in a state of shock. Osmos has been chosen as an IGF finalist in three categories!

• Seumas McNally Grand Prize
• Excellence in Design
  
• Technical Excellence

Wow. Needless to say, we’re excited!

It’s a real honour to be in the company of some great games and creators. I had already tried and really enjoyed PixelJunk Eden, Dyson, Coil and CarneyVale Showtime. And I’m looking forward to playing the others as well: the videos for FEIST and Blueberry Garden look wonderful; and I loved Amanita Design’s previous game Samorost, as well as Nifflas’s modern indie classic Knytt Stories. Looks like there are some other gems in there too…

So there it is: amazing news, and stiff competition. Good luck to all the finalists!
