Awards 2011 - for your consideration thread

[Radiant]

Quasar

A short adventure game on a spaceship, loosely inspired by the TV series Firefly, it focuses on mupltiple playable characters, how they interact, and how they each react differently to hotspots - from snarky medic Julie to stoic mercenary Karst, and from loyal technician Florent to sesquipedalian researcher Callisto.

It has excellent high-resolution artwork, detailed portraits, and a separate soundtrack for each character.

Suggested for

• Best Short Game
  
• Best Dialogue
  
• Best Background Art
  
• Best Character Art
  
• Best Player Character (four of them, take your pick )

for your consideration : Venator

The Von Penumbrus family are the Venators (the Latin term for hunter). They hunted supernatural creatures for generations.

Tonight, Gilbert, the youngest member of the family, lazy, timid and not particularly bright, is sent against his will to his first hunt : to put to rest once and for all a ghost scaring people in the nearby cemetery.

Featuring :
A magic medallion that can help the player stuck by offering another puzzle
A raven, possibly the least encouraging companion worlwide
A ghost who is terrible at telling jokes
...



I would like to nominate my game for :

Best short game
Best Player Character
Best Non Player Character
Best Character Art
Best Puzzles
Best Animation

Thank you for your consideration.

Now that the 'shared universe' category didn't make it  , you may want to consider my RON game Night and Day for the music nominations.              



A mysterious advertisement in The Realiser fails to shock the citizens of RON.
Is Elandra Desmond the only one that sees the danger facing Reality-on-the-Norm, or do the townspeople have their own agenda? And how does the disappearance of Davy and Mika connect to it?

Download Night and Day from the AGS database page here
And download the sound track (10 tunes) in mp3 format here

Thanks for looking/listening.

May I suggest Arden's Vale for your nomination consideration?


You play Riel, who, to save her sister from a deadly enchantment, must steal a magical stone with healing powers from a vengeful enchanter. After infiltrating the enchanter's castle, you must survive sinister traps, talking gargoyles, quite nearly logical puzzles, terrible puns, and finally the enchanter himself. But beware, for not everything is as it seems...

This game has already won the Game With the Most Random References to ATOTK Award, the 2011 Inventory to Hotspot Interaction Overkill Award, and the Most Family-Friendly Evil Bad Guy in a Game Released in August Award.

Additionally, I like to think it would be a fitting nomination for the AGS Awards under:

Best Puzzles
Best Short Game
Best Player Character
Best Animation
Best Music

Didn't there use to be an award for best tool/module/plugin or something like that, too? Because the underlying IRC plugin would totally be a shoo-in for that.

[Duzz]

Oh what the hell...

You should totally nominate:

- The Unicated -

Join twins Bo and Mal as they struggle to escape being torn apart by a society that shuns the wicked and innocent alike.  LOL!!

A (very) short game, winner of the August MAGS. The theme was "Evil Twin".

Unique gameplay, nice pixely graphics, original music, (newly added) voices, what more do you want?

[Sughly]

Hmmmm... not sure if I'm a little too late on this one, but thought I'd throw in my own FYC 8) (and seeing all those games together... quite an impressive year indeed!)

Krams Design presents...

Egress is a short form sci-fi adventure game set in the outer reaches of space.

The story begins when you, the commander of a two man recon team, are sent hurtling into space during maintenance on an interplanetary probe. After a sudden attack from an black alien substance, you awake on a mysterious planet.

Where are you? How did you get there? And why is your partner screaming for help down the intercom…

Features include:
- Cinematic hand drawn, frame-by-frame 2D animation, including short intro and ending sequences
- Multiple endings designed to reflect the actions of the player

To download, follow the link from my Egress game page.

Please note that you can skip just about every cutscene and transition by pressing the 'ESC' key. Failing to have mentioned this in the how to play section was a great boo-boo on my part. Sorry for everyone who has endured frustration over this!

Bump! But only cos I was asked to unsticky it. Not that people can nominate right now..

[Snarky]

Is that by design or by mistake? I thought the nominations thread said they'd run to the end of the month?

[Wesray]

Yep, the early end of nominations caught me by surprise too. Didn't manage to nominate any games yet, as I planned to play through a few more candidates first.

Mistake (due to asynchronous communication between me and the Man). The noms will close... well, from when CJ set up the forum wide announcement again + 7 days.

Also; Mark, this should remain stickied, it is the other one (the awards 2011 thread) which should be unstickied!

[Meystari F]

I realased this demo in last year 2011.

The full game are coming soon in summer 2012.
