Today I Die – IGF Finalist!

Today I Die was selected as a finalist at the IGF (Independent Games Festival), one of the most prestigious events of the world regarding indie development.

The category it was selected into was “Nuovo”:

The Nuovo award honors abstract, shortform, and unconventional game development which advances the medium and the way we think about games.

I always dreamed about being an IGF finalist. The happiest thing about being a finalist is that I can forget about chasing the award. I want to fully focus on my craft.

Congrats. It is very awesome game. Whenever some discussions start with my friends about Art and Games I often mention Today I Die because it is really special and very artistic, it has something to say but not like a painting just saying it. This one leads you trough a journey of decisions making in a more deep experience… It speaks to a player in a way I never felt from games…

Daniel, you haven’t posted a blog in a while. Just was wondering what you were planning next. If you are looking for a new concept email me at derrek.gaspard@gmail.com

jayisgames is having a competition based on friendship it would be interesting to have something of yours to play in it.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the the majority of important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
