GDC 2020 has been taking place digitally this week with some fascinating talks on mental health, handling crunch, and LGBTQ+ representation, among other topics, and just last night GDC organizers officially handed out the awards at the annual GDC Choice Awards and the Independent Games Festival (IGF). Untitled Goose Game, which also just won Game of the Year at the DICE Awards, was the big winner at the 20th annual GDCA ceremony. Meanwhile, Remedy’s Control won awards for Best Technology, Best Audio, and Best Visual Art.
On the indie side, during the 22nd annual IGF Awards, Adam Robinson-Yu’s A Short Hike won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The retro-styled exploration game also won the community-driven Audience Award, chosen by fans via public voting.
