Independent Games Festival chairman Brandon Boyer announced via an open letter that that the annual event dedicated to indie games of all stripes will go through three fundamental changes which will be evident at IGF 2011. For starters, mobile games will now be part of the main IGF event instead of being pushed off into a special and separate mobile event. Games for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Nintendo DS, PSP, Android and other mobile platforms will get equal footing with PC, Xbox Live and PSN games.

Rather than just grading games using a numerical scale to determine "the best games," IGF judges will be asked to nominate games in categories like design, visual art and audio. The games with the most nominations will then be passed to a smaller jury to determine the finalists and winners in each category after multiple "rounds of debate and conversation."
