Indie Week: Day Five
[Welcome to Indie Week at gameinformer.com. We’ve got a full seven days of indie game coverage leading up to the 2010 Independent Games Festival Awards. Check the hub daily for new previews, interviews and other coverage of the top independent games of the year.]
Welcome back for day five of Indie Week. Today we are taking a peek at the nominees for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The biggest honor of the IGF ceremony, those that walk away with the Seumas McNally award earn more than peer recognition and some money to line their pockets – they garner the attention of press and potential publishers alike.
As the five games below represent the best of what Indie has to offer, it’s not surprising that they were nominated for multiple awards this year. As such, the previews below debuted at various points earlier this week.
To avoid retreading too much, we took some time to chat with the five developers nominated for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. In the feature below we explore their struggles, successes and general philosophy on being indie.
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow – we’ve still got two days of Indie week to go before we head out to GDC to report on the awards.
Enjoy!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. 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.
