You're playing a video game, but not any old joystick-controlled diversion against your buddy across the room. In this game, you partner remotely with a stranger to solve a puzzle. But you can't speak; you can only gesture. This is going to be a challenge, you think. All the better, say the folks at the 2011 IndieCade Festival. The festival-the only stand-alone, independent-focused game event in the United States-awarded its Developers Choice Award to this game, "Way," created by the Coco & Co. team led by Hui-Ku Shih (CMU'11) and Christopher Bell (CMU'11).
