An Award-Winning Horror Game???

The Awards!

I can't believe it. To think that a game that I developed would be nominated, let alone WIN an award is still unreal to me! This Wednesday the AGDAS (Australian Game Developer Awards) was in full motion and I knew I was one of the finalists in the category of Emerging Games. I was talking with Ceri who is a representative of the AGDAs and they pushed me so hard to go and be there live at the ceremony. Sadly, due to economic and personal problems, I could not attend this beautiful show. So that evening I sat on my bum in front of the TV, I prepared myself to watch the whole ceremony live on Twitch!

Technical difficulties. The live broadcast was canceled. I sat in my living room and the only way to get any sort of information from the award show was through my proxy person who was on-site! Through Discord we sent each other messages, and he sent me videos and pictures! Sean, if you read this, you're an absolute LEGEND! We both were joking about how nervous we were, Sean had my thank you speech ready just in case. He was nervous about having to do a speech, I was nervous about the results!

"Two more (categories) then us", "One more." Then he went quiet...

I think about 10 minutes passed and it felt like AGES. Then he responded with two simple words.

"you won"

I couldn't believe it! Sean called me and we both were ecstatic! I had somehow created an award-worthy title for a game!

Thank you!

So basically, with this incredible news, I just want to say... Thank you. To everyone who's been around supporting me with my silly little projects. All the communities that have been the victims of my stupid progress posting! And the biggest thank you is to you, the people who enjoyed the game. I know it's cheesy but without the overwhelming positivity and great feedback from you all, I would not even have thought about applying for the AGDAs in the first place. Seriously, thank you so much.

What now?

So now I'm sitting here... working on the upcoming DLC.

What's that? You haven't heard? Oh, that's right, I haven't posted anything about it here... I'm working on a DLC! I hope that it'll be ready and released around Christmas, so prepare yourselves for a Nightmare before Christmas! Teehee!

Here's the award, isn't it a beauty???

Thank you <3
