Just a handful of days after we received word of the IGF 2012 Main Competition finalists, we now know who will be representing the cream of the crop in the Student Showcase. Eight titles this time around have picked up $500 each for their selection, with both some new and familiar names vying for the $3,000 grand prize.

We’ll be taking a good look at all of these titles as we approach GDC in early March (which DIYGamer will be attending and taking diligent notes at). If not before then at the event itself, as all eight will be available to demo on the show floor.

The games that have already seen coverage from our staff have been hyperlinked for your perusal. Congrats to these guys for standing out and earning  a showcase selection:

Dust (Art Institute of Phoenix)

The Floor Is Jelly (Kansas City Art Institute)
