IG Independent Games: Volume 2
An interesting series of games came across my desk -- IG Independent Games: Volume 2.
Moondance Games has put together some of the award-winning titles from the Independent Games Festival (IGF).
Here is a short sampling of some of the ones I checked out.
These are only eight; there are 21 games in 7 different genres.
All are professionally done, and there is a fresh lighthearted quality about them.
They come from universities, garages, small companies and it is encouraging to see alternates to the mega-game companies.
There are a couple of things that big game companies have that these guys dont.
These don't do much advertising.
It's hard to find the game Amazon has it under IG which is their undecipherable logo,
I was looking for it under Independent Games.
And they shortchanged their own product by not making an annotated booklet of all the games along with the production companies.
Yeah, I know, it costs money.
I wish them luck and will keep an eye out for Volume 3.
