• The Game Developers Choice Awards is the premier peer-based video game awards show celebrating the best games and developers in the industry.

• The Independent Games Festival honors the most innovative and exemplary projects in independent game development.

And, in that sense, one of the Chilean companies attending that stands out is ACE-Team, developer of independent video games for the main platforms (Playstation, Xbox and Steam). His game “The Eternal Cylinder” has been nominated at the Independent Games Festival (IGF), the most important independent video game festival in the world.

These are two nominations: one is for the “Seumas McNally Grand Prize” (which is for the best independent video game of the year and the most prestigious), and the other is in the category of “Excellence in Visual Arts”.

This nomination is a historic milestone for the national industry, since the only other time that a national video game achieved a nomination at the IGF was ACE-Team in 2009 with its game Zeno Clash, in the category of Excellence in Visual Arts.
