We're still here and will continue to make games that cry out for human dignity until someone stops us.

Our recent free release, The Shadow Over Cyberspace, follows a long line of story-driven games:

Arcade Spirits, video love and friendship

Arcade Spirits The New Challengers, esports glory and camaraderie

Penny Larceny, superhero social satire

We're Fiction Factory Games. Welcome aboard.

So on a bit of a whim, with a few people I work with, we created The Game Awards for Games Who Can't Afford the Game Awards.

Or TGAGWCAGA for short.

It's pretty much exploded over the past week on Bluesky where a lot of indie developers have made their home.

We asked indie games to nominate themselves, whether they had released this year or whether they were an upcoming game that couldn't afford to pay for the advertising space at the Game Awards.

Geoff Keighley said that Gamescom's Opening Night Light were going to be charging as much as $480,000 for ad spaces during next year's showcase.

That's simply not remotely affordable for thousands of studios.

So while it's a bit of a parody, we also hope it'll shine some light on great indie games, and our form is of course written in Comic Sans.

We don’t have the budget😅

It’ll be on Bluesky and most likely YouTube!

Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.
