Every year, at about this time, the indie-est of game gatherings takes over sunny Culver City, California. Independent game developers gather in the southern California burg to talk design, process and inspiration, while showing off their latest wares.
As is the custom, awards get handed out at this kind of thing, too, and Joystiqâs got a report detailing a few of the winners. Fez won the big Best in Show prize and Phil Fishâs long-brewing, dimension-warping platformer also got an award for Story/World Design, too. Other notable winners include Capybara Gamesâ hit Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP for Visuals and the yet-to-be-released Johann Sebastian Joust won an Impact on the Community award.

A game called The Swapper nabbed the Special Recognition award, too. Iâve never heard of itâor Finnish developer Facepalm Gamesâbefore but it looks absolutely gorgeous and intriguing. Discovery of games like this is the true power of IndieCade. Oh, IndieCade, how I wish I were in you this yearâŠ
