Miyamoto was at the awards! (the IGF and Game Developers Choice Awards are together) Also the creator of Tetris. And The Fat Man (dude who wrote music for a ton of games)

Doesn't make sense to enter Aquaria cause it already won. :P I don't think we're going to enter anything new this year, because we'll probably be busy with Aquaria and ports of Aquaria for a while. But we'll probably be going there again anyways, it was a lot of fun. Maybe we can do a postmortem talk on Aquaria or something?

Aren't you, as the winners of last year's award, automatically invited back to present next year's award?

I don't know if that's a tradition or not...

I'd hope so, that'd be pretty fun! :)

But, when your game was nominated, did the organisation
offered you also the flight to GDC?

Nope. :)

But they do give you a free GDC pass.

What's TGB?

We used OpenGL for graphics. We're not using any shaders in the final version.
