In case you were wondering what the independent game developers were doing during E3, well, four of these indies were competing as finalists in an independent game competition at E3. The competition was called, namely, the Independent Game Developers Showcase, and was held by anti-piracy and copy protection software company ECD Systems. The winner of the competition was none other than indie game developer 21-6 Productions, Inc., with their game [i]TubeTwist[/i].
In the winning puzzle game of TubeTwist, players construct a machine that will guide cute little Macroton devices from their starting positions to a final reactor tube where their energy will be extracted and stored for later use. Over thirty different tubes of various shapes and sizes can be combined to complete the machines. These include spirals, switches, anti-gravity devices, twisty turns, and precipitous drops.
"We are honored to be a part of ECD's showcase, which has provided us with both exposure and revenue-saving copy suppression technology that helps ensure the financial success of independent games," said 21-6 Productions president Justin Mette. "While at E3 we received invaluable feedback directly from gamers and we wish to thank ECD for the opportunity to have our game played by thousands in only a few days."
