Two members of the team behind indie darling Sword & Sworcery EP took gongs at the 2011 Canadian Game Development Talent Awards.
Held as part of the Montreal International Game Summit, the awards were introduced this year to highlight Canada's startling breadth of development talent.
Although triple-A got a look in with BioWare's Casey Hudson and Ubisoft's Frederic Blais, other major Canadian teams, including EA Canada, Eidos Montreal, and the Assassin's Creed team, were notable absentees.
