Congratz Alec & Derek you guys deserved it for your hardwork. Here's to seeing Aquaria on Xbox Live Arcade in the near future.
Hope you both celebrated like its New years. Can't wait to see the IGF video of your acceptance speech. 
Oh and did you guys take pictures at your demo booth? Of course we'd like to see them, how thoughful of you. 

[Alec]

Hey... just got back from hanging out with family and a massive steak dinner. urgh

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)

I think there might be video of the awards tomorrow on Gamespot...?

[Xiagan]

That's so cool. I looked at all the other games and you really deserved that award. How nice that the jury was thinking the same.

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?   

[Myster_EE]

That is so great, guys.  I'm really happy for all of you!

[Eileen]

I did start a new thread about congratulations, but yeah, awesome job!! *thumbs up*
Awesome speech Derek! Like drawing fish with bit teeth eh? Good hobby!
Good luck, and I'll make sure to come to the next awards ceremony!!!

[Xiagan]

In case you haven't noticed: photos and a video!

[Assault]

I'm a little late to the celebration. 

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
