I just came back from Berlin and recovered from a hangover. Last Thursday, my game TRAUMA has won the “Deutscher Computerspielpreis 2012” – the German Computer Game Award 2012!
Yaaaaaaay!!!
TRAUMA was nominated in the category “Best Browser Game”. It didn’t win the main award in this category. However, it received a special jury award as a recognition of it’s unique approach.
The “special” status of TRAUMA does have disadvantages. There is no prize money associated with it. There was also no opportunity to give an oscar-style thank speech during the ceremony like the other winners had.
On the other hand, it’s the first award TRAUMA actually won. So we had a great time celebrating in Berlin. The award is actually highly controversial at the moment. Something I’ll write about later this week. Needless to say, I’m jubilant. And I hope this won’t be the last. 
w00t!
You rock my effing socks off!
Congratulations,
the game deserves it and much more,
salutes.
