The Independent Games Festival, is held each year at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California. The "Seumas McNally Award for Independent Game of the Year" is named to honor the memory of Seumas McNally, founder and lead programmer of Longbow Digital Arts. Seumas lost his battle with cancer on March 21st, 2000.

It was our pleasure to contribute an additional $5000.00 toward the "Seumas McNally Award", made possible in part by contributions to the Seumas McNally Memorial Fund. We believe that supporting an Independent Game's movement is the best way to encourage innovative developments in the game industry.

This year's winner of the "Seumas McNally Award for Independent Game of the Year" is an interesting puzzle/adventure game called "Bad Milk". You can download and try out a demo or purchase the full version from their web-site at: DreamingMedia.com.
