Non solo VGA in questi giorni: anche l'ambiente indie ha visto andare in scena alcune premiazioni illustri recentemente con gli "Indie Visibility Awards" di IndieGames.com.
Mattatore dell'evento è stato il solito Minecraft che si è portato a casa il riconoscimento di Indie Game of the Year nonché il premio nella categoria a quanto pare appositamente creata di "Best Minecraft".

Notch's Game of the Year
"It hasn't been released yet, but the game that's inspired me the most in the last twelve months is Proteus by Ed Key and David Kanaga. It's a wonderful game about exploring and understanding. Not much is explained, and not much happens, but the style works amazingly well, and it's full of atmosphere and personality. It's affected how I do game design from now on. Using small tools to convey big messages that might not even be there is a wonderful thing."
