The CMP Game Group (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.
We saw how the Sundance Film Festival benefited the independent film community, and we wanted to create a similar event for independent game developers as well as the student population of game developers - thus, the construction of this yearly competition, for which prizes are announced at Game Developers Conference every year.
The IGF, now in its 8th year, has given away hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and major recognition to innovative, independently created video games from all over the world, from early pioneering titles such as Tread Marks and Shattered Galaxy, through recent stand-outs such as Oasis, Alien Hominid, and Gish.
