The highest award, 'Game of the Year', was awarded to 'Daughter of Volcano' (developer Egg Hatcher Studios). The nominees for the "2024 Stove-indy Awards" include 27 works from various genres loved by indie game fans in 2024, including 'Sand of Saljar', 'Old World', 'Ifsunset, 'Saniyang Lab' and 'Daughter of Volcanoes'. Among them, the voice simulation game 'Daughter of the Volcano' was selected as 'Game of the Year'. 'Daughter of Volcanoes' is the 1,000th release of the stove, and it is provided by the stove in Korean.
Top 10, which was the most loved by indie game fans in 2024, was awarded to games that achieved good results through stove Koreanization, subculture indie games, and stoveindi creative ecosystems, such as 'Ifsunset', 'Saniyang Laboratory, 'Secure Heart'. In addition, the mystery adventure 'Fakebook' (developer's semi-underground games) unfolding on virtual SNS won the 'Frontier" category, which is given to games with novel ideas.
In addition, a 'user's choice' section has been established so that creators and users can give meaning or look back on their joyful moments in the stove. The user's choice division consisted of six categories, and more than 2,000 users voted for each game. As a result of this, six works were selected, including 'CircuHeart (developer BishoJodev)' as a 'Game that Shines More With Slede Users' and 'Abyss: Everlasting (developer Ignost)' as an 'award winning team to see again'.
Among the award-winning works, 'Circue Heart' was highly anticipated as it was selected as a booster pick for the '2023 Stove Indie Awards' in which users participated in the screening. From the development stage, the game improved its completeness by communicating with stove-indie users through Wise Demo Life, and was selected as a user's choice as well as TOP10 at this year's Awards.
Smilegate Yeo Seung-hwan, director of the company Smilegate, said, `The Stoveindi Awards is a festival enjoyed by creators and users who have grown together with much love on the stoveindi throughout the year. We will continue to strive to provide users with a variety of enjoyment and creators with opportunities to grow and succeed together on the platform.'
