twisted tree games

Proteus won 4 Golden Teabags at the #indievisiblity awards party last night!

This was weirdly overwhelming! I’d been tipped off about one of them (the “Best Placeholder” nomination) but otherwise they were a big suprise. Really touching, especially Notch’s nice message about Proteus - “using small tools to convey big messages that might not even be there”.

I loved the absurdist golden spray-painted teabags and One Life Left’s twitter-prank of stitching up Dan Marshall as drunkenly punching one of the winners (me, as it turned out). More award “ceremonies” should be this way.

Huge thanks to Dan and Sheridans for organising and sponsoring such a great evening, and the One Life Left team for exuberant hosting duties.

Also big love to Alex May for the bed for the night and the 2am omelette feast, and Micheal Brough for being a magical wizard and bringing his iPad and dev build of Glitch Tank.

Amazing to meet up with all the London bunch, old friends and new. Best ever Christmas “office party”! I think I’ve shaken off the hangover now.

(ah, oh yeah: listen out for the next episode of 99coins. They’re doing a report on the awards and I’ll hopefully be on it talking about… whatever it was I was talking about. If I’m struggling to suppress a giggle it’s because Charlie was performing a lewd dance in the background)
