It's wonderful to see the whole team's work recognized. In particular, it's unusual and gratifying for an award to single out coding, an honor James Spanos very much deserves. Of course, awards for gameplay, audio, and even art all reflect the quality of the coding, which is critical to creating a smooth gameplay experience and for the audiovisual effects that make Strangeland so unnerving and alive.
If you're interested in casting a vote, you'll need to register at the AGS forums, which can be a tricky process (the most elaborate anti-bot system this side of the Voight-Kampff test), but you can take do so here.
