The Good Life at the Nyx Awards
When we embarked on the crazy adventure that is The Good Life, a question was always how many people would see the appeal in this quite crazy idea. As we launched the Kickstarter, and thousands of you joined me and White Owls, it was all the validation we needed.
Now that the game is out, and you and many more people can finally play it, we received another unexpected validation in the form of the Nyx awards, where The Good Life received the following distinctions:
Best Game Categories - Best Indie Developer - GRAND WINNER
PC Game - Best Storytelling - GRAND WINNER
The game also received another 7 gold and 2 silver awards. You can find out more about the awards and categories over on their website: https://nyxgameawards.com/
Seeing the storytelling of the game receive an accolade from a jury of game professionals is unexpected, and I wanted to share this piece of happy news with you all, who supported this project since its early days.
