Australian Game Developer Awards 2023: The Complete List Of Winners

The Australian Game Developer Awards, the AGDAs, have returned for another year. Held every year at the conlcusion of the Games Connect Australia Pacific developer conference that opens Melbourne International Games Week, the AGDAs celebrate the best and brightest Australian game development talent. They are a bright spotlight on the greatest games to come from the local scene in the last twelve months, and a chance for the local industry to come together gas one another up on a job bloody well done in an industry that gets tougher and more competitive by the day.

The stage was set for Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical by Melbourne’s Summerfall Games to sweep the awards, and it certainly took home its fair share. Other major victories went to Moving Out 2, Wylde Hearts, Gubbins, Partum Artifex and more! Congratulations to all of tonight’s winners. So very richly deserved, one and all.
