SOFE-student nominated to Independent Games Festival in San Fransisco in March

Kian is one of SOFE:s promising and talented programming students. He has already got attention for his game Swarm in Swedish Game Awards 2008. “I still can’t believe it. You Have To Burn The Rope is nominated for IGF’s Innovation Award! I thought I had a fair chance of making it in the browser game-category, but the Innovation Award, that’s crazy! (What happened to the browser game-category, anyway?) I’m so proud I’m about to burst. Mostly I’m just happy I get to go to the IGF, I’m going to meet all of my heroes! (Some of them I’m even competing against! Jason Rohrer! Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn!)
Congratulations to all the other finalists! I’m looking forward to beer-ing (I just made that word up) with you”.
