doope!

本日、GDC 2025会場で第27回「Independent Games Festival」の授賞式が開催され、Jenny Jiao Hsia氏が中心となって開発を手がけた食テーマのビデオゲーム「Consume Me」が最優秀賞“Seumas McNally Grand Prize”と“Nuovo Award”、女性やマイノリティの開発者にスポットを当てる“Wings Award”を制し、見事最多受賞を果たしたことが明らかになりました。

ナラティブ部門を受賞した傑作「Caves of Qud」や魔法使いだらけの特殊部隊を描くXCOM系タクティカルRPG「Tactical Breach Wizards」、オーディエンス賞を勝ち取った「The WereCleaner」、2001年のエクアドルを舞台にサッカーの魅力と少年たちの暮らしを描いたJulián Cordero氏とSebastian Valbuena氏の半自伝的アドベンチャー「despelote」など、多数の注目作が並ぶ全10部門の受賞作品は以下からご確認ください。

「Consume Me」は、Jenny Jiao Hsia氏本人の経験をもとに、ティーンエイジャーを悩ませるダイエットや摂食障害、カロリーへの執着、学校生活、恋愛といった極めてパーソナルな出来事を通じて、少女の成長をユーモアたっぷりに描く“食”テーマのミニゲーム集です。（※ “Consume Me”は数年前までitch.io経由でプレイ可能でしたが、現在は配布停止中。近く製品版がSteamで発売される予定）
