Everyone's been taking tons of photos, we'll get stuff up as soon as we get the time. (we still have to run our pod for two more days)

Post by: Quemaqua on March 09, 2007, 04:02:13 am: I was so happy to see you guys came away with that. I was hoping IGF would get you some exposure and stuff, and that'll certainly do it for you, I think. =) Congrats to you both! Couldn't have happened to better people.

Now can we have the game please? ;D

This is amazing news, I'm very happy for you. Congratulations on winning the award and even more on getting such high appreciation for your work, which I personally think is a much greater reward.

I'm sure you guys still have a lot of work ahead of you and hopefully there isn't too much pressure on you. Even though pressure can be good at times.

Here's for hoping to see Aquaria become a great game, to see the community grow and for Alec, Derek, Jenna and Team Sister for a much successful and happy future.

Cheers and a Shoryuken
