Akatosh · Sat 28/06/2008 19:01:38

Must... finish...

AJA · Sat 28/06/2008 20:42:55

Finished and submitted. Phew.

It was a fun week... nerve wrecking, but fun.
Thanks for hosting the competition finally, scotch!

I'm really looking forward to playing the other entries!

See above

Minus the nerve wrecking. I don't know how to stress.

Famous last words: I'm not in to win, I'm in to participate \o/

Darn, almost made it. I've tried to cut everything down and just finish it up so I can at least submit it and could not find anything else to cut so I will not be able to submit in time. I do plan to finish it, though...eventually. Good luck to everyone!

Is this ending in 20 minutes, or 1:20? I heard its ending at UTC time, and I don't know what that means.

scotch · Sat 28/06/2008 23:44:17

1 hour and 15 minutes from now.

scotch · Sun 29/06/2008 01:19:08

The competition is officially over now. Looks like we have 12 entries. I'll get the games and voting page up some time in the next few hours.

Good luck to everybody!

A nice selection of games this time!

Leon · Sun 29/06/2008 12:15:17

OMG :o 12 games?
Like there's nothing been published to play recently?
5 MAGS, Nanobots, Yrolg, Barnrunner 5... and now 12 OROW's. And only 2 days to play them 12? Pff...
Gotta go... must play...

Radiant · Sun 29/06/2008 13:53:39

Well, I gave this a shot, but only managed half a room in the single week, so I'm off to the HAROW contest now. Maybe next time...

Comments and critiques as I play ALL 12 games! I don't know who made what.... I LOVE IT!!! I haven't even followed this thread so I don't know the rules or anything. I'm just telling it as I see it!

Baltazar:

Spoiler

A weeeee too much dialogue. I had to go for a snack half way thru. Funny characters and great art. [Not finished yet]

[close]

Beauties:

Spoiler

Excellent animations, humor, and puzzles! The girls looked great! Reminded me of a Leisure Suit Larry game. Only critique is that establishing the main character as a female would have answered a few questions earlier. [Finished]

[close]

Chatroom:

Spoiler

Awesome concept. Great dialogue system! Was surprised what all Luke responded too. I'm pretty sure I finished the game but was hoping for an ending sequence? Maybe I screwed up? [Finished]

[close]

How Many:

Spoiler

Favorite so far! Great injury system! FANTASTIC sound FX! Funny! Original! Main character is one of the best ever. (bear trap & pants falling down = laughed my ass off) [Finished]

[close]

Man Boy:

Spoiler

Brilliant Art and Music! A little too much dialogue and weird control system. I had some other control issues. Please include an exit menu ( i had to alt tab out) and let me click thru dialog! Arrrrgh! [Not Finished yet]

[close]

Good job overall! These are quality games and everyone should download them!

more to come...

Only two days for vote? Isn't better four days.. or a week? is no need to make a orow every week..

scotch · Sun 29/06/2008 19:08:09

OROW happens about once a year, that's nothing to do with the voting period, I think two days is more than enough to decide the voting, most people that take part just play the games in one session. As it happens I'm being a bit slow about getting the voting up since the forums are not on the usual server, but it'll start later today and end two days after that.

Alarconte · Sun 29/06/2008 22:50:54

well, I allready beat up the games and I'm waiting to vote now I have fresh my mind. When will be the vote topic and the vote rules?

scotch · Mon 30/06/2008 01:24:02

You can go ahead and vote here, sorry about the delay.

Space will do the trick.

After having played them all, my top 3 in random order are beauties and beasts, man-boy and how many. Now for the voting .. I take cheques.
