So, I understand that the IGF ( Independent Games Festival) finalists are announced this weekend ( Joystiq Post) so are you guys and gals nervous, or is the submission so far out of your mind that you didn't even realize?
Either way, good luck. I just figured I'd ask since IGF is how we were first tipped on the existence of "Bugs of War".

I hope BoW gets to finals!
What sort of criteria are they grading this on though? I figure it wouldn't be based on your previous games. It doesn't seem like they have to much info on it either. Do they have some things/info that we don't see looking online?

Yeah, I'm a bit anxious to find out where we stand... So busy with work in general, though, that I hadn't even thought about it until today.

Just saw that on the IGF site...excellent! Congrats!
And now I'm even more intrigued (if that's possible) about Bugs of War and what kind of technical excellence you have demonstrated in the making of this game. Looking forward to it!

Thanks!
I agree, the other games look great. I need more time to check them all out. In any case I'm pretty happy to be part of that group. I'm excited to walk through the booths at GDC this year and play them in person.
Sorry again for the lack of information on BoW. We hope to fix that Real Soon Now.

No need to be sorry...that kind of stuff is 100% understandable. It's the nature of the business.

I must say that it's cool to finally be discovering the budding indie games scene. I've watched, demoed, and bought some great "indie" titles in the last year and I'm glad that the movement seems to be picking up steam. Here's to innovation!
