2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards
cyrus_zuo writes "For anyone looking for something different Game Tunnel presents the 2005 Independent Game of the Year awards. Game Tunnel's list of
the Top 10 Independent
Games of the Year covers gaming from a different angle, looking at the
Independent and the Innovative. The awards also include the best of each genre
as well as technical categories. Last year's results are still available."
Note that little item in #4's list of requirements: Java
:-)
That's right people, Tribal Trouble was created by a long-time Java programmer. Don't be surprised if more and more Indies are done in Java. Cross-Platform support comes free, and development tends to be easier and faster. Tribal Trouble wasn't the first Indie game done in Java (*cough*heresafew*cough*), and it won't be the last.
