    unityThe Independent Games Festival, which is in its 12th year, has announced that Unity Technologies–the provider of the Unity development platform for the PC, Wii, iPhone and Mac–will be the Gold sponsor in 2010. The IGF, which takes place at the Game Developers Conference (this time in March 2010 at San Francisco, California), has served as a successful promoter of new indie games. In fact, World of Goo, Braid, Gish, Castle Crashers, and Everyday Shooter have all benefited greatly from winning the prestigious IGF awards.

    “We’re honored to be sponsoring the IGF. Unity started out as an indie game studio, so in a way this feels like coming home. We can’t wait to have some of these talented developers see what we do, so we’d like to give away a lot of Unity Pro copies. In short, we’re proud to sign on as sponsors and show our support for Indie gaming.” said Unity co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Nicholas Francis. As part of the Gold sponsorship, they will be providing all finalists with a copy of Unity Pro (which is worth $1500). However, each winning (not finalists) team member will receive a copy rather than only one for the entire team.

    IGF has its’ Main Competition open for submissions until November 1st while Student Competition is open for submissions until November 15th. Finalists will be announced in January 2010 and the actual IGF awards ceremony will take place on March 11.
