Tim Schafer Honored With Indie Award
IndieCade – the International Festival of Independent Games – is introducing a fresh award category to their program this year: the Honorary Trailblazer Award for Lifetime Achievement. Awarded to “a true visionary in the field of game design” the premiere recipient is none other than Double Fine’s Tim Schafer, who will receive the award at the IndieCade Awards Show on October 8.
"Holy cow. I had no idea I was so old. Is this because of the grey in my beard? Well, it's an honor and I'm happy that it's coming from a great organization like Indiecade," mused Schafer.
Schafer was noted as being an inspiration for up-and-coming designers, and will be presented the award by colleague and Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert.
“We are thrilled to present Tim with our first Trailblazer Award,” said Stephanie Barish of IndieCade. “Tim and his games embody the risk-taking, boundary pushing spirit at the heart of the independent gaming community, and he is a true role model to legions of up-and-coming game makers.”
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
