Well done to all the nominees.

Looks set to be a good competition.

Notice how Nelly Cootalot seems to appear under almost every award?

Shows how great a simple game can be! ^_6

I have to say, I'm surprised Art of Theft was not mentioned at all in Best Animation, Sound, or Music.

Da_Elf · Mon 28/01/2008 21:53:57

i would have tried to get my game in under backgrounds since i did spend alot of time on them but unfortunately since its only a demo i didnt know if it would be eligable for any of the other catigories

Well, poop. My game got nothing. *sob* Thanks a lot, AGS community! Now I'll have to drown my sorrows in booze tonight! I mean, I was going to get drunk anyway, but now I have to get drunk for a reason! And a bad reason, at that! I can't imagine I'll enjoy it at all! ... At least until I start drinking, I suppose.

Congrats to all who made the cut. I'm glad Nelly Cootalot made the grade (in a lot of categories at that! Well done Ali!), it was my favorite AGS game this year.

Also, I'm also a bit surprised that Art of Theft didn't make the grade. I thought it was a shoe in!

Oh well, off to the liquor store.

Ponch, me dear fellow, I'll just have you know you had my vote on many, many categories.

But don't let me get in the way of your drunkenness-to-be.

Well done to all those who made the nominations! I'm ashamed to admit that I'm one of those who haven't voted yet... that's because to be honest, I haven't finished many of the games I started playing in 2007 (with the exceptions of Asterix, Common Cold and 6 Days). But it's great to see that all of the games I've started playing, and that I mean to play, are on that list!

Voting is now open
The closing date/time for voting is actually wrong on this page, CJ is going to adjust it to 10:00GMT on Saturday 16th shortly, but votes will still count.

Oh, and people who didn't nominate aren't allowed to complain about the nominees

There, there, no need to be down. I nominated you too, but you just didn't make the top 5, alas.

What a bumper crop of fantastic games we had in 2007! Deciding who to vote for in some of the categories is going to be tricky.

Ponch · Tue 29/01/2008 19:48:02

Voted!

Thanks, Rui and Paolo. I'm all sobered up and ready to find a way to go on living

SSH, I know I didn't nominate any games, not even my own. But I'm terribly lazy and was hoping to be swept into power on a tidal wave of goodwill after everyone read my post in the "good deed" thread and realized what a noble human being I am!

In retrospect, it was, perhaps, not the greatest of plans. But, as I said, I'm lazy that way.

Oh well. Best of luck to all the people I just voted for... Only moderate luck to those I didn't vote for

was there ever a "best cut scene" catigory?

SSH · Wed 30/01/2008 12:19:15

No, but after discussion with Dave Gilbert I'm thinking of a late addition of "Best Defensive Use Of A Carcinogen" ...

Also, I just noticed, but amazingly enough, I think this is the first time m0ds's Music has had a nomination (2 nominations, in fact!)

m0ds · Wed 30/01/2008 14:21:39

It was a tough choice for a lot of those categories, but I've voted! Well done to everyone, it's going to be an exciting night!!! All those games are superb, I've had a lot of fun playing them so it was hard to come to a decision over it. I'm thrilled to have 2 nominations :o so thank you for i guess being enthralled by the enchanting computeryness of MIDI music, whoever nominated it so :p And for having a little faith in me, I spose

I appreciate it a lot so here have a new game on me. I've been tracking again but it sounds like 6DAS on crack. SSH, Fatman was nominated for best music in 2003

And then Apprentice kept being re-released every year after. Hehe, only kidding

Still, it'll be interesting to see where this goes, so thanks! MAYE TEH AW4RDS COMENZ!1 :

VOTING UPDATE

Well, 64 voters in so far, and some categories have a clear leader, but there are still 7 categories with 3 or less votes in it (2 of which are currently tied), not to mention the fact that the next few people could all vote the same way and swing even some of the categories that have a larger margin at the moment.

Also, if you nominated, don't forget to submit your final votes, too, as your nominations don't count in the final vote!

Snarky · Wed 06/02/2008 15:29:30

Last year there was a torrent with all the nominated games zipped up in one convenient package. Any chance of something like that again this year? Finding and downloading the most recent version of each game is looking a bit tedious from where I'm sitting.

*cough* add awards graphic and link to front page of ags website so it isnt just regulars voting *cough*

This is unfair. Secrets of Sultan Kanuni 2 should have been in "Best Background Art" nomination at least. http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=889 This is too unfair...
