Last night Always Sometimes Monsters took home awards for both Best Writing and Best Indie Game from the 2014 Canadian Videogame Awards. In addition to the awards won, Always Sometimes Monsters was also nominated for Best Original Music, and Best Downloadable Game.

Fellow nominees included excellent Canadian-made games like Super Time Force, The Long Dark, The Fall, Mercenary Kings, Child of Light, and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

It was an insane night for all of us and a total surprise to hear our name called at all, nevermind twice. As it always does, seeing friends and peers from the Canadian game industry reminded us how fortunate we are to live in a country that supports and lavishes such attention on its creative talent. We are truly honoured to be a Canadian game studio and part of Toronto's independent game development community.
