Storyteller wins Nuovo Award, I go on a game making retreat
Shocked and surprised, I stumbled to get the Nuovo award at this year’s IGF and gave an unusual, improvised acceptance speech.
This means that the game might be able to get more credibility with the press and increase the chances of being published by Steam and Apple. Since I started attending GDC I sort of fantasized with getting an award at some time; and finally achieving it, I have more mindshare to spend on the game itself and in some ways, being more honest with myself.
The other news is that I am staying here at San Francisco for three months at Chris Hecker’s house working solely on Storyteller in a forced march, hanging out with other very smart people like Jonathan Blow and Marc Ten Bosch, so I am extremely happy.
So my main goal now: make a great game out of Storyteller!
I knew it, man. Congrats on winning! I am so glad I kept bugging you about the game months ago
Thanks for letting me play the preview. Good luck with your San Francisco adventures!

Oh my god. Since I first stumbled upon the prototype to Storyteller, I’ve always wanted more out of it. Now my wish is coming true!
