[m0ds]

Winners have been announced later in this thread! Official update to this thread & the Awards page coming soon

Once again its time to award developers with their hard work from the start of 2008 with the Screen 7 game of the year award! After last years successful attempt one lucky developer will win a smashing Trophy and 2nd and 3rd will recieve runner up prizes. It's a bit late this year, my bad, but a lot of personal stuff has gotten in the way.

Part of the award structure asks that developers themselves and players/fans come forward with the nominations. If you've made a game this year or just played a particularly good one then please do nominate it!

Last years winner was A Tale of Two Kingdoms by Crystal Shard and so Radiant will be picking up his trophy at this years Mittens!

The specific rules are:
>> Only games released between Jan 1st 2008 and July 27th 2008 are accepted
>> Only games that are MEDIUM LENGTH to FULL LENGTH will be accepted
>> Point & click adventures ONLY!

Depending on my resources I will try & have the page up this week sometime on my site. Details on the trophy will be written soon!

If you want to nominate a game please just write it here, you can list up to 3 to be included!

Please include a link to its AGS db page or official website!

Voting is public. You may remember last year I mentioned "judges"...well, these still do not exist, so its all down to public votes. More info soon!

Many thanks

Wasn't there a big slice of last year that was left out of last year's contest?  Are those games going to roll over into this year's contest or are they just going to be forgotten?

I nominate:

Lost In The Nightmare: Save Our Souls - http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=982

Yea, I'd like to nominate Limbo of the Lost because at least it deserves it And was released this year in the US

1. Beat me to it! I second "Ben There, Dan That!".

2. I also want to nominate "Shoot, I Got Abducted!", but if that is too short or something can I nominate all of Ben304's work so far this year...?

This made me smile very much. Cheers!

However, I really doubt that Shoot! is anywhere near the length required to be nominated, the same with Man Boy (Besides, Man Boy is not P&C).

Still, big thanks for your kind thoughts!

I'd like to nominate Nanobots and Once Upon a Crime.

[Nickenstien]

I nominate Ben There, Dan That: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?category=&action=detail&id=1056

I third that! Simply amazing!

Many thanks for all the nominations. I have limited time at a PC these days so I will be closing noms on Monday and setting up the vote page on Tuesday, so name some more whilst you have the chance Sadly yes these awards do cut out games released in Fall & Winter. If it were to encompass all games form all year it'd really just be the AGS awards, but in the future, when it involves more engines or Ive thought it through a bit more, it might include all year games. But really at the moment its to celebrate games that are released in Winter, Spring & Summer of the current year.

[Radiant]

Yay, this is back!

Very well, I nominate Quest for Yrolg.

I could also mention The Hypntoad but that probably doesn't count... 

[olafmoriarty]

Ack, I know it's technically Tuesday, but since there's not voting page up yet, is it too late to nominate "Nanobots"? My favorite game so far this year by far.

[Akatosh]

Don't worry...

I'd like to nominate Nanobots and Once Upon a Crime.

[olafmoriarty]

Huh, I missed that line for some reason. Thanks, Akatosh.

[m0ds]

Yep, I will be converting these nominations into the page at midnight tonight, so you have til then to nominate something!
