After opening up submissions for the 2017 Indie Games Fest in July, Google has today announced the finalists.
There are 20 finalists in total vying for the top prizes on offer with three winners to be announced at an event in San Francisco on September 23rd. The judging panel include Googlers, as well as YouTube Creator Alex the Gamerette, Co-founder & CEO of Nix Hydra, Lina Chen, Emily Greer, the CEO of Kongregate and Dean Takahashi, Lead Writer for GamesBeat.
Games in the Indie Games Fest are from US and Canadian developers. Unfortunately Google has not announced any Australian Indie Games festivals, but we can hope for the future.
