It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, so I figured it’s high time for a status update. Last month, I submitted Captain Dynamite and the Fallen Hero to the Independent Games Festival (IGF) 2012 competition, which is essentially the game industry’s equivalent of the Sundance Film Festival. Finalists get a lot of exposure and winners get a cash prize, so there’s a lot of potential good to come from it.

I submitted last year to no avail, but this year’s build is a much stronger candidate, with lots of improvements and new features. However, the competition is even fiercer this year, with the most entries ever (568!) and many amazing games within that. It’s definitely a long shot, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Finalists will be announced in January.
