This is a decision which was not taken lightly, and we will announce plans in the coming days.

We thank everybody for your patience and understanding, especially to our nominees who were looking forward to the ceremony today.

We promise we will make it up to you.

It is with immense regret that due to a number of factors outside of our control, including travel challenges for nominees attending our in-person ceremony, that we have taken the decision to postpone.

@0ctokom Bonjour 👋 Il y a un malentendu courant. Les « Indie Game Awards » auxquels vous faites référence ont été créés après nous et n’ont aucun lien avec nous. Ils ont supprimé leur compte ici sur X après que cette situation s’est déroulée.

De plus, ces personnes sont américaines 😊

PSA: If your game (or one you worked on) won an award this year, extra trophies are still available!

We made extra discs especially for this purpose 😊

To add to this, our physical trophies also don’t cost anything. If you win it, you own it.

Frequently asked: How much does it cost to submit a game for consideration? Nothing! Apparently that’s unusual 🤔

@zocklabs @debugmagazine It’s going to be an exciting few months!
