As part of a GDC Vault retro week we're sharing some newly-archived footage from past GDC events, starting with the 2005 Independent Games Festival and Game Developers Choice Awards. Relive the joy and excitement of this seminal event, which celebrates IGF winners such as Gish, Alien Hominid, and Wik and the Fable of Souls, while Shadow of the Colossus earns a total of four Choice Awards for Sony and Team Ico. Watch the two-hour IGF and GDC Awards here.

About the GDC Vault

In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers. Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC, GDC Europe, and GDC Next already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via a GDC Vault subscription page. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the GDC Vault group subscription page. Finally, current subscribers with access issues can contact GDC Vault technical support. Gamasutra and GDC are sibling organizations under parent UBM Tech
