iFEST is a FREE festival for independent game developers and fans: from new startups and established studios to anyone who thinks they might have what it takes to imagine, design, build and market games.

And the winners of the iFEST Canberra Audience vote and the PSVita was Desolate Raven Studios (right) with ‘Squidden’, a fishy underwater game using an interesting stealth mechanic.

Runners Up and winners of the PS3 were Vagabond Interactive (lower right)with their co-op game InconSPYcouos.

Along with a fantastic line-up of speakers at iFEST Melbourne tomorrow, there are 24 games being shown off by Melbourne indie developers at the Indie Games Showcase. Come along and play them all!

It’s not to late to register online or you can just come along and register at the State Library of Victoria ~ either way, it’s free!

In three and a half hours, Canberra iFEST boots up and gets started with a keynote from legendary games pioneer, Trip Hawkins. If you’re not in Canberra you can follow along the conversation via facebook.com/ifestgames or twitter.com/ifestgames. The hashtag for iFEST this year is #ifest12.
