The 18th Annual IGF Awards themselves will once again be hosted by Nathan Vella, co-founder & president of Toronto-based independent developer, Capybara Games. Since 2005, the team at Capy have created games for nearly every platform, and the studio is presently working on Below, their roguelike-inspired adventure game about exploration, survival and discovery for Xbox One & Steam.
Attendees will have an opportunity to experience each of the finalist titles and speak with their creators at the IGF Pavilion area on the Expo floor of the Game Developers Conference 2016 from March 16th-18th, 2016 at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Along with the IGF Pavilion, independent game developers can also take part in the Independent Games Summit (March 14th-15th) for networking and learning opportunities related to independent game development.
The public will also be able to take part in awarding the winner of the IGF Audience Award from all the finalists for the IGF, and voting for the Audience Award begins in February."
