the game awards 2022 presented by al pacino and doritos

the wholesome direct stream could be retitled to reflect that it’s primarily (?) a showcase of projects with arts grants, like a festival

less soup this time but many of the character designs look like indistinctly cute enamel pins

blanc is the standout just by virtue of a strong look

some of it is arts grants i’m sure, but some of it is also student developers i.e. games started by student teams as part of some kind of academic program and then published later. i know that’s the case for at least a few that i know of that have appeared on that stream. there are an increasing number of gamedev academic programs so a lot of stuff that comes out of that ends up in this sort of space (if it doesn’t just end up on itch etc)

I think if you watch on steam and spam ‘!claim’ endlessly.

They claim they’re giving out a steamdeck every second, this award alone must’ve been a whole aisle of stock.
