ST
CATHARINES, ON, June 21,
2024 /CNW/ - CGMagazine Publishing In. has just
finished up their Game Con Canada coverage with the Game Con Canada
Indie Game Awards.
After a stint at Computex 2024 in Taipei and Summer Game Fest 2024 in Los Angeles, CGMagazine headed out west to
cover games on their home turf. Game Con Canada is Canada's largest dedicated gaming expo in
Edmonton, Alberta. The show floor
featured everything from tabletop games to AAA games to the latest
tech from BEACN, Razer, Intel, MSI, HP and more. Most
prominently—and perhaps the busiest areas—were the multiple indie
game stations set up across the Edmonton Expo Centre.
CGM chatted with more than 20 indie developers about their games
over the three-day Game Con Canada expo. After careful
consideration, CGMagazine was able to honour five indie
games/studios with awards across five categories, with the
following winners:
- Best Studio: Zugalu Entertainment
- Game: Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown
- Best Art Style: Within the
Vault
- Studio: Variable Eye Games
- Most Innovative: Speechbound
- Best Gameplay: ctrl.alt.DEAL
- Studio: Only By Midnight Ltd.
- Best Indie Game: The Rabbit Haul
- Studio: Caldera Interactive
There were so many amazing indie games and booths to check out,
but the GCC Mega stage was a true sight to behold, featuring talks
from major celebrities like Karen
David, Ray Fisher, Avori
Henderson, Deborah Ann Woll and
Mark Meer. There was something for
everyone on the main stage and beyond.
Game Con Canada will be returning to the Edmonton Expo Centre in
2025, and CGMagazine will be on hand for all your gaming expo
coverage.
