The organizers of the 2009 Independent Games Festival have announced a record turnout for this year’s IGF competition, with a total of 226 entries in the Main Competition (an increase of 30% on last year’s 173 entries), and a total of 145 Student Showcase entries (up over 15% on last year’s 125 entries).

In addition, information on the 226 separate IGF Main Competition entries, including screenshots, descriptions, and links to official game websites, are now available to view on the official IGF website.

That is an amazing turnout and it is looking like a very competitive year for the IGF.
