Posted by on

Welcome one and all the to 2nd Annual Indie of the Year awards, celebrating all that is great about our beloved indie gaming community, the developers, the hobbyists, the players and of course the games themselves. Indie of the Year is the biggest event on the World Wide Web honoring user created Indie titles hosted by IndieDB. In 2005, the event first started as a spin off the MOTY awards, stepping forward to 2010 the IOTY awards then separated and the Indie of the Year was born.

inb4 Minecraft Wins
even though it is a stolen concept and a poorly finished product that has its popularity fueled by excessive hype and autistic player base

I do not like Minecraft wins again, even the favorite course in the indiedb rating.
I never liked that style of play, I would have liked something with graphics, not this ... is my opinion ... I do not want problems hehe:)

In my opinion, Minecraft is an okay game, but it is way over hyped. For a while, everything was Minecraft, this really got on my nerves as Angry Birds does today. Also, what I like about it, Cube 2: Saurbraten did better. (And Cube 2 came first and it's free.) I hope a really good game wins. (I.E. NOT my game "1 Monster Truck vs. 61 Children")

Cool quarter art, but did you know, that Q1 is actually winter? As only the last half of December is winter followed by all of January and February.
