OMG! Symphony selected as an IGC 2012 finalist!!!

Francois Bertrand — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:03:09 +0000

After over 3 years of hard work developing Symphony (and keeping our small studio alive!), we're [overjoyed / ecstatic / words cannot describe the happiness] to learn Symphony was named one of the 10 finalists for the Indie Game Challenge 2012!

For us this is an incredible feeling; we're thankful and humbled to see Symphony along the list of current and past finalists of the IGC.

There are major announcements coming in the next few weeks, follow us @empty_clip and on Facebook to get the latest!

Thanks for bearing with us; we're very excited about Symphony and can't wait to share with you how much it's evolved over the years. In the meantime, see you on Twitter, we look forward to hearing from you!
