IGF 2009 Winners Announced!

For some reason, I thought that the Independent Games Festival Awards Ceremony was last night, not Wednesday night. That’s what happens when one doesn’t attend the GDC, I guess. Anyway, kudos to everyone who entered the event, and especially to the winners. And major congratulations to the ones who won that have Mac clients! For your reading pleasure, the winners of the IGF 2009 (I bolded the ones with Mac clients or who would be bringing out Mac clients soon after the contest):
