Want hints and tips about how to work on your own indie project? Check out the interview below.Д¬ongratulations on the award Sebastian! How does it feel to be chosen from such a great field?

We sat down with Aporia: Beyond the Valley Game Director and Level Designer to discuss the award and the experience of creating and releasing their CRYEGINE-developed game. Our team selected the excellent Aporia: Beyond the Valley, Deceit and The Land of Pain as nominees but after all of the votes had been totted up, weвЂ™re pleased to reveal that Aporia: Beyond the Valley emerged as the communityвЂ™s choice for the best CRYENGINE indie game of last year. Nevertheless, many recognizable names still topped the overall charts throughout 2017, including Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.Our CRYNEGINE Indie Game of 2017 competition was fiercely contested, but as is the way there can only be one winner.

Steam also breaks down what games sold best during each month, and it was fascinating to see how many indie games rounded out the overall sales categories throughout 2017, with a lot of unlikely titles taking top spots, such as Night In The Woods, Streets of Rogue, Sim Airport and Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator managing steal away gamers from some of the bigger outings. Additionally, NieR: Automata managed to make the Gold cut in the sales department, moving more than 670,000 units throughout the year on Steam, and standing alongside other top-name games like Call of Duty: WWII, Fallout 4, Dark Souls III, and two of Ubisoft's titles, Assassin's Creed: Origins and For Honor. We also saw some unlikely games making the cut as well, such as NieR: Automata, a single-player action-JRPG, managing to retain more than 15,000 players at a time, managing to compete with other Western AAA games like Wolfenstein II. Oldies but goodies also made the list, such as Garry's Mod, Path of Exile and Rust, managing to secure more than 50,000 concurrent players at a time. Obviously, Rockstar's GTA V made the cut, along with Rocket League and Ghost Recon: Wildlands. However, joining PUBG Corporation's third-person Battle Royale survival title in the best-sellers Platinum category for moving more than a million units is Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin 2, and ARK: Survival Evolved, along with H1Z1, and CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The best-sellers list doesn't actually rank each game according to their actual placement on how many units they've sold, but instead has them randomly categorized in the various brackets based on breaking through certain sales milestones.ДЇor instance, we know for a fact that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was the best-selling game of 2017 across any platform.

The sales are broken down into several categories, starting at the top with the Platinum Sellers, these are games that moved over a million copies. The top of the category (and presumably most important) is the top sellers list.
