This is the 18th year for the A.I.A.S.’ awards ceremony, and this year, the organization is debuting two new categories: the Technical Impact Award and the Sprite Award.
The Technical Impact Award is a special award that “celebrates unique innovations that contribute to the ongoing progress of interactive media,” while the Sprite Award “will be awarded to a game having disproportionate resources for development and exposure (as compared to AAA titles), represent a higher degree of risk tolerance and advances our industry with innovative gameplay and experiences,” the organization said in its announcement.
