One of the entries is Dark Room Sex Game. It has to be played to be believed.

Nice. I always look forward to playing some quality Indie games when I can.

Now, what's the difference between the main competition entries and the student ones? Are the student ones just entries made by even more independent student developers, or can the ones in the main competition also be made by students?

@Blah8: The difference usually implies that student-made titles were made as part of a programming class structure or class requirement, and not for any intended business model.

The other indie category generally implies it was made independant of publishers, yet still intended for some sort of sales and distribution.

Wow, Machinarium looks incredible! I love that visual style. It's like City of Lost Children as a children's book.

"you are a female mime artist in Paris, who must earn as much as possible, by miming your way through an invisible maze."

Hmmmm. I may give this one a pass.

@shan6: What are you kidding?

That's the one that caught my attention the most. That is a wicked cool idea.

@egyptomix: how awesome would that be as a Wii game using the nunchuck and remote to do mim gestures!??? I'm excited just imagining it... what a funny and cool concept! plus you could have tons of mime jokes from people walking by making jokes about mimes lol

@shan6: Okay, how about: "You are a nakkid female mime artist in Paris, who must earn as much as possible, by miming your way through an invisible maze"? Better?
