TRAUMA GOTY

I thought I use this opportunity to boast a little about the Game of the Year nominations TRAUMA received. I don’t think the major gaming sites said anything. But some indie websites included TRAUMA in their picks.

• indievault.it – Alex Camilleri from indievault.it picked TRAUMA for his Indie Game of the Year.

• theindieshelter.com – And while we are in italy, theindieshelter.com also seems to have enjoyed TRAUMA a great deal.

• indiegamereviewer.com – TRAUMA didn’t make it into the top 10 of indiegamereviewer.com, but it did make into the Very Honorable Mentions. Together with Minecraft and Gemini Rue, I think it’s in outstanding company.

• omgubuntu.co.uk – Not really a game of the year but I thought it was worth mentioning that TRAUMA was the top downloaded game on Ubuntu Store in December, outing the previous king of the hill Braid. I think this is something I’m owing at least partially to the guys from Canonical. Nevertheless, it’s a great honor.

So there you go. Certainly a great start into 2011. With the great success of TRAUMA, I have already set up plans to drop my current job and going full indie. It’s a scary step, but it’s something I have been working towards. And I could hardly wish for a better foundation.
