One thing I am learning at #IGF23 is that empowerment it's not just completing a course. Empowerment is inspiring others to extend to their networks what they have learned and to start change at the edges

We had the amazing surprise to see Color Gray Games' The Case of the Golden Idol win a well-deserved #IGF23 award for Excellence in Design!

It's the first Godot game to win an IGF award, and we're both delighted for the devs, and grateful for the light they shine on Godot!

Check the game out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677770

A new kind of detective game that allows you to think and investigate freely. Discover clues surrounding 12 strange and gruesome deaths and build your own theory. Pick your suspect, deduce the motive, unmask the awful truth.

#TheCaseOfTheGoldenIdol won the "Excellence in Design" #IGF23 Award at #GDC! Not only is it the first game #MadeWithGodot that got an #IGF award, but also the studio's first game *ever*!
