Fez

The innovative perspective-shifting platformer Fez won the grand prize of $30,000 at the 14th annual Independent Games Festival (IGF), hosted by GDC. Fez is the upcoming indie game that has everything you could ask for: great visuals, music, and of course, design. According to our Indie game expert Rob Manuel, "Fez represents not only what makes an indie game great, but also what makes gaming great."

Other winners included developer Daniel Benmergui for his work on the comic strip-based game Storyteller. He won the Nuovo Award, given to developers who advance the medium and way we think about games, and a $5,000 cash prize. Storyteller lets players drop characters into story panels, and the characters will react according to their personality traits. Neat!

You can find the full list of winners after the break.

    Wow, those are some great picks especially Dear Esther for visual art and Antichamber for Technical because that game's level scripting must've been hard to make.
