MAGGIES 2010

Well, in the overlapping handover I forgot to hold Maggies - the round-up of all the year's entries! So forget your economic meltdown (aka credit crunch, bankers' crisis etc). It's what's happened here that counts! Last year under King Dualnames we got twenty eight entries over twelve months, a few of which went through to grabbing awards quite recently!

So, I'll cut the spiel and let you get down to voting. You can see an alternative overview of the list HERE (http://www.mags-competition.info/index.php?page=games&only=2010&pagetitle=Best%20MAGS%20Game%202010).

The way you vote is up to you. As always, it's not about the best coded, or the best graphics, but about the game that you enjoyed the most.

I'll keep voting open until a clear winner is decided! (and/or people get annoyed with yet another thread kicking about on C&A). Well... here's hoping for another seven hundred Maggies! Adios!

Hah, it's so obvious who's gonna win this one...

Spoiler

The Journey Down.

That's not fair!    :-\

I definitely need much more votes to give!!
This is worse, than choosing the right pair of shoes in the morning.     (http://www.schildersmilies.de/schilder/fluch.gif)

I have to try this again tomorrow.


Why do you all have to be so good?

It's a though one. But I'll vote for a great game which didn't win a single award yet - not even mags

Spoiler

Snakes of Avalon

Ahhhh what's your paypal email?! I'm willing to PAY FOR THE WIN O_O

Wow, so many good MAGS games! Congrats to whoever the winner will be. I casted my vote. And cashed my check.  ;)

Voted! A testament to MAGS that most of the years best efforts with AGS are candidates here.

All you Maggots did some really good games there over the past year!
Sadly, I haven't played them all (not even half of them), and haven't got the time to do it over the next few weeks, so I'll have to pass the voting on this one. :( But next year! And then hopefully with my very own entry/-ies in the list :=

Looks like I'll have to do some playing!

I voted with tears in my eyes   ('cause now I don't have left any money for my holliday)  :'(

Thanks to

It seems like a winner is emerging already! But we need more votes; there's no reason why each game doesn't get at least one vote from their author ;) If you can take the time to play them, or just remember an entry that really stood out, please vote.

Can you give a rough date when the voting finishes, Atelier? I'll try to try out all those titles I missed out on, but I need to know how much time I have for it.

1st April (no joke) :)

Thanks, that seems like there's still quite a bit time.

Gona download and get to playing the ones I didn't yet.

Luckily still some time to vote.

MAGGIES 2010 - JUDGEMENT DAY

I've decided to cut voting a few days short because (a) voting activity stopped about a week ago and (b) I don't want the announcement to clash with MAGS April.

So firstly, thank you to everybody who voted. We had 25 votes in all which is awesome! Secondly, I'd like to say that there was some suspicious activity with the voting. I know who you are, and hopefully you do too, and that's all that matters. In the end it didn't get you anywhere.

Thirdly, it's time for me to announce the winner! Are you excited? I can't wait to find out who it is ;) Let's take a final look at all the entrants:



Without yet more ado, hover here for the winner!

Congratulations! A very decisive victory. I'll have to sort out a prize for you them :=

See you next year!

Congratulations to the winner, well deserved. Finally, the game really deserved a goddamn award!  :D :D :D

Wow! Great! Thanks very much mode7 and everyone who voted for us, I really appreciate it.

The quality and variety of MAGS titles last year was amazing and pretty much all participants deserve props for their work. I guess Snakes received a little boost in the competition because of not winning anything at AGS Awards despite being very close, but what's important to me is that our game got itself a bit of a cult following here and people truly care about it, which I'm really happy about and proud of.

Also, important to stress - it's Snakes of Avalon by Ascovel && Baron - we both put a lot of effort to realize the game, Alex just doesn't talk as much about it as I do (so we're expecting 1 prize per head - no less ;) ).

Ok, it's now changed ;D

I have a feeling 2011 will also be a bumper year. For example we've already had games by Zetsaika and Duncan, and La Sol and Beacon which were quite popular in Completed Games.

wow Atelier you did a great job at that winner announcement!  :D

 :o :o :o

Well.... I'm speechless!  This is such an unexpected honour.  A huge congratulations and thank you must go out to Ascovel for his creative energies, hard work, and promotional efforts.  Thanks also to all the fans who just wouldn't take no for an answer!  While the fans of other games were exhausted by voter fatigue, you persevered.  When life gave you an empty mug, you ordered another round!  When you were asked to vote for your favorite MAGS game you didn't confuse any of them with the longer more polished version released somewhat later....  well, perhaps I've said too much now.  Anyway, what's done is done -thanks for the hardware!

Congrats on the victory guys!

No doubts well deserved! Keep on kickin' asses, you guys. snakes rules!

Cheers, I did go a bit overboard on the formatting though :)

Congrats, Baron & Igor! Well deserved!

Awesome! You finally get your well deserved prize!
Congratulations  :) (and I'm still waiting for the toilet guy spin-off)  ;)

Congrats Igor and Baron! Well done :D

You're such a cheerleader, theo.  :P

Yeah, big thanks for all the cheering, guys! :D

@tzachs It's more likely Avalon will show up as a special bonus surprise location to visit in some other game than a spin-off or a sequel. But it could be some time before that happens, because I can't imagine any title where it would fit right now.

Big thanks to Atelier for the incredible (solid) gold trophy I just received that now rests in my beautiful signature!

M for Marmalade! :D
