That's an Australian Game Developer Award. The Excellence in Narrative Award, specifically!
I'm, uh, pretty affected by this. I really didn't think we had a chance in hell, and count myself very lucky that I wrote an acceptance speech en route to the awards ceremony, just in case.
I've been making games for years - Amarantus was in the works for nearly 10 years, and even if we start counting from if not us, that came out in early 2018. I've been lucky enough to see a few games I worked on get award nominations over the past five years, and now we've gone from "award-nominated" to "multi award-winning" in what feels like just a few weeks.
I think mostly I'm just happy that people are catching what we were trying to throw with Amarantus. I'm happy people are playing it.
