INDIE Live Expo would like to extend congratulations to this year's award winners:
“We are honored to present the Grand Prize to Slay the Princess, which embodies the ‘madness’ that indie games should have,” says Daichi Saito, Chief Editor at INDIE Live Expo. “Developed by a small team, the graphics, while not necessarily fancy, are highly creative and offer an experience that keeps us committed to an ‘unconventional character.’ This game reminds us of the very reason we fell in love with "video games." Showing our deepest respect for this magical work, we proudly present the Grand Prize.”
“The beautiful thing about video games is that there is no limit to creativity. If you can dream it, you can make it,” said Ryuta Konuma, Founder and CEO, Ryu’s Office. “We’re honored to provide a platform to show off the limitless creativity within the indie game space, and look forward to helping shine a light on developers across the globe.”!”
