It’s Arrived… The Trophy [Tournament]

Trophy

So as you may know, we’ve been running a tournament to figure out what the best indie game is. While we don’t have enough money to offer any sort of monetary prize or anything of significant substance, we have ponied up to get a kick ass trophy made to honor the developers who eventually win out in the tournament.

While we still don’t know who will win the tournament, we have finally gotten the trophy in, something that is very exciting for us because it sort of validates the whole tournament that’s going on. I mean, at the very least, a developer will have something physical to show off that their game has won something. Something that’s not possible by simply winning most online awards.

Anyway, I won’t drag this on for too long. Enjoy the unboxing video below! Sorry it’s a bit shaky. I was using my phone without any sort of tripod or anything like that.
