Tomorrow’s game designers to pitch their ideas at the IGF Mobile

The Independent Games Festival is becoming more and more prestigious every year. Winning at the IGF carries more weight than glamorous, showboating, tawdry back slapping exercises like the Spike Video Game awards, and a new category has now been added to the Mobile awards allowing new developers to pitch their work-in-progress ideas to the ceremony audience.

Entrants in the Next Great Mobile Game category will give a demonstration of their new games to the IGF Mobile audience, which will then vote for their favourite pitch. The winner will be awarded $2000 of the IGF’s $30,000 prize pool and be given a stand to showcase their early development to the pavilion visitors.

The IGF Mobile ceremony is to be held as part of the GDC on March 24th in San Francisco.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
