The IGF Organizers have announced the 12 receipients of the 2008 Independent Games Festival Student Showcase awards, from a field of over 125 entries, including USC Interactive Media Program’s quirky The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom, Sheridan Institute’s stylish booger-busting Gesundheit!, and The National Academy of Digital Interactive Entertainment’s dual-perspective Half-Life 2 modification Flipside.
The Independent Games Festival Student Showcase website now features a complete list of all the showcase winners, including screenshots and links to videos and demonstration versions where available. Each winner will receive a $500 travel stipend to help aid their trip to GDC 2008.
In addition to PT Winterbottom, Gesundheit, and Flipside, other student showcase finalists nominated for the $2,500 Best Student Game prize to be given out at GDC include DigiPen Institute of Technology’s surreal flocking shooter Empyreal Nocturne, Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia’s playfully kinesthetic Crayon Physics, and Australian National University’s tactical space attrition game, Mayhem Intergalactic.
Announcement here (http://www.igf.com/index.html), finalists are listed here (http://www.igf.com/02finalists.html#student).
Mayhem Intergalactic made it in, so I'm happy. :) Pity I can't afford to travel to the GDC in person at my own expense. (It's on the other side of the planet!)
Congratulations to all the finalists!
