Yeah but expedition 33 is barely even indie, $10 million dollars funding and a publisher shouldn’t really be qualified as a indie game

Way too many people mistake art style for art direction and think indie means a game was made by 3 guys in their college apartment with $15

E33 did not have a $10M budget. They wouldn’t release the info on it. Actually they had 140 devs and by estimations from other studios who know the cost of operating its closer to around $66M

The game awards recognizes indie games “For outstanding creative and technical achievement in a game made outside the traditional publisher system” Kepler interactive focuses on games with small teams and gives them a ton of control expedition 33 is an indie game lol also most of the nominees this year ALSO have publishers 😂😂
