ART GAME: Ed Key's "Proteus" wins 2012 A MAZE Indie Connect competition
Nike Wilhelms shared this juicy piece of info today about the winner of the Amaze Indie Connect Festival curated by Thorsten S. Wiedemann:
"A MAZE. Indie Games Award at A MAZE Indie Connect Festival, Berlin.LINK:
The game PROTEUS by Ed Key and David Kanaga (music) has won the award for the THE MOST AMAZINGINDIE GAME at the A MAZE. Indie Connect Festival. Beside an invite to the European Indie Game Days in Marseille and the distribution of the game on Little Indie the winner received 5000 Euro and a trophy.
After nominating ten games, the international jury - Zuraida Buter (NL), Thierry Platon (FR), Marek Plichta (DE) und Chris Adkins (USA) – decided between Where Is My Heart? and PROTEUS.
They voted for PROTEUS, a zen-like explorative game which does not imply the classic gamed techniques. Without having any specific objective the player moves on a surreal island crossing four seasons. The gamer can play own games following strange animals and frogs: doing this, a soundtrack is created. Maybe it is a poem?" (Nike Wilhelms)
