IGF Awards 2024 winners: The Full List – Venba – Rock Paper Shotgun

Visai Games' cooking adventure also picked up two Game Developers Choice awards
The winners of the 2024 Independant Games Festival were announced at GDC last night, and it was Visai Games’ Venba that came home with the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The cooking adventure was up for four IGF awards in total, including nominations for Excellence in Audio, Narrative and Visual Art. But there was no runaway winner at this year’s IGF Awards, with all prizes going to completely different indie games. Come and celebrate the full list of winners below.
The public-voted Audience Award also went to RAM: Random Access Mayhem this year (which I played the very good Steam Next Fest demo for back in February). This award was open to every game that was nominated for an IGF award this year, which means it beat all other games to the punch. An amazing achievement, especially for a student game!
Finally, Chú Mó from The Chú Mó Team@ArtCenter was awarded the alt.ctrl.gdc Award, which celebrates the most engaging, intriguing and well-executed games using unconventional, accessible or alternative physical controls.
Congratulations again to all involved, and another big round of applause to Venba – which also had further success at the Game Developers Choice Awards last night, which took place immediately after the IGF Awards. There, it also won Best Debut and the Social Impact Award, and you can find a full list of GDC Award winners on the GDC website.
