This made me cry during the awards show. Beautiful moment. ❤️

It was an honor to present the award for Visual Design this year. Congrats to 30 Birds!

Thank you so much to everyone at the Indie Game Awards for selecting us for this year’s Indie Vanguard ❤️ #indiegame #indiedev #indiegameawards

So proud of our wild, weird, genre-defying soundtrack getting recognized last night at the @indiegameawards.gg!!

Huge shoutouts to @dannybstyle.bsky.social @alexmoukala.bsky.social @familyjules7x.bsky.social @sam-webster.bsky.social, Nick & the whole Rift Team. Could not be more inspired by y'all.

For a year fraught with many challenges, turmoil, & shaken sense of stability, we cannot wait to continue living up to the honor bestowed upon us: bringing impactful programming, funding, & scholarships to devs of color.

Thank you for the kind words, & thank you @indiegameawards.gg for this honor!🏆

We won an award! 🤍🏆🤍

Inside Baseball: As a small organizational crew with big ambitions, we have to get pretty creative when it comes to production.

The hosted segments you saw last night were filmed way back in early August; the same day (and different NYC borough) as the most recent Six One Indie Showcase.

One of the best written games of the decade.

A new trophy has been permanently added to the Trophy Room! 🏆

Thank you so much Indie Game Awards for awarding Blue Prince the Innovation Award & the community for choosing us for Best Puzzle Game in the Community Picks category.

what an honor to help present this award :)

I attended my first GDoC expo around the same time I started prototyping Building Relationships, and those talks really helped lay the groundwork

So glad I got to talk at GDoC expo this year (it truly was the most pleasant recording experience)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #IndieGameAwards

honoured to be an indie vanguard, thank you @indiegameawards.gg !!!!

Basically everything I know about community management is from learning in the communities of Landfall and Aggrocrab, so this felt very full circle. 🥰 Yay team PEAK!

I am both honored and beyond excited to share that Chantey and Gortyn Code just became the first inductee into the
@indiegameawards.gg Indie Vanguard Class of 2025!

A huge 'thank you' to everyone who supported the game along the way! This is fuel in the fire for what's coming next!

really excited & honored - Tall Trails received the indie game award in solo development !! ,')

We cut down some of the acceptance speeches for @indiegameawards.gg for time, but wanted to post them in full here ❤️

Thank you again!

Feels really good to be a part of @gdocexpo.com and the small mighty team we have 💜

Welp I 100% did not expect to be crying but here I am absolutely in tears. In an especially hard year with all the attempts to dismantle support for equity initiatives, I've personally been staving off feelings of hopelessness. So it means a lot to know that we are making an impact. Thanks 💖

Thank you all for your love, enthusiasm, and support for all of our 2025 nominees, presenters, and the countless other indies that crossed the finish line this year.

Continue being a positive backbone for those who drive our industry forward. We’ll see you in 2026.
