Game Development: From beginner to journeyman

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

Portal won Game of the Year at the Game Developer Choice Award!! It also got the Best Game Design and the Innovation Award!

BioShock was also in the spotlight at the GDCA winning 3 awards (Best Writing, Best Visual Arts and Best Audio)

Congratulations to all Game Developer that were involved in any games that were nominated ! You’re all the REAL winners of the GDCA!

Congrats again to Jason Della Rocca who won the Ambassador Award

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful for this award, this is truly a wonderful honor. But, I’m just one person. What the industry needs now is for each one of you to get out there and be an ambassador for games, for game culture, for the profession of game development.

And big kudos to the Kokoromi gang for the well deserved Excellence in Visual Art IGF Award for Fez. And Fish reading his acceptance haiku with a monocle; Just awesome!
