We are looking for volunteers to stream and record this year's ceremony - if you are capable of and interested to do one or both, please send a message to me or Snarky.

Thank you!

Great theme. I wish I had time to make an entry.
Good luck everyone!

Sweet pixel art and a tasty amount of gore as always, UKZ. Congrats on the release!

That's some beautiful pixel art. Best of luck with the project!

Congratulations to all the nominees!

There will be some further communication sent to the authors of the nominated games soon, please keep an eye on your forum mailboxes

Updated, thanks!

I do! 

Thanks! I have updated the source spreadsheet.

Glad to hear you find it useful!

I think I have captured all the demos in the spreadsheet. As for voice work, no, unfortunately there is no indication in the database so I've only managed to mark a few I know of (my backlog is HUGE this year...). I'll happily accept some help - if someone knows of any other games eligible for this year's awards that have voice work, please post a list here and I'll update the spreadsheet.

Thank you so much for setting up the nomination page, AGA!

There appears to be a small issue that has been reported in the FYC thread but leaving it here too so it doesn't get buried under other posts...

The nomination page requires all records in the 'Best Character' category to be filled out before it allows the user to save.
If the same input is entered in all 10 lines it saves fine and displays only one record in the summary, without the dupes.

Just like last year, I have created a Google sheet with all the titles eligible for this year's awards, the links and some basic data.

If anyone would like to use it, please make a copy of the spreadsheet to your own Google or local drive - the shared version is read only for obvious reasons.
There's a lot of blanks in the Voice Work and Genre columns because my own backlog is still huge, but I will be updating it as I go.

I hope it helps some of you to keep track of the games played!

Just keep in mind, the above link is only a reference spreadsheet, in order to nominate you need to go here:

That honestly sounds like the way stuck up atheists think Christians see atheists. Are we certain that the film wasn't made by atheists? Because I could definitely see myself making a film like that. 

Podcasts by extremist theists or call-in shows with theist callers can provide a good perspective. Once in a while you will hear someone calling the theory of evolution or even science in general a belief system and people like Richard Dawkins "atheist prophets" or "atheist preachers". I seriously doubt that the people repeating this BS are all secretly atheist.

I don't think they are the majority (I sure HOPE they are not), but they don't seem to be all that uncommon.

Off to a good start, 2021! I'm so looking forward to playing this.



("...and a parent" O_o unexpected  )

One more possible bug with The Bouncer: at the beginning of level 5 (I think), the first person on the right hand side queued near the end of the line instead of the beginning and would not change tint. I could summon the ID checking interface when I clicked her and after she was through, the next person in the queue stepped forward and changed tint as he should.

Screenshot below:

The perpetrator is the fair haired lass in a green dress

Edit: Actually, 6. Level 6.

A bug report for Rain & Snow - The Bouncer (which I'm enjoying a lot btw, I loved Papers, Please!):

Spoiler

An error has occurred. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 3.5.0.24)

Error: MoveCharacter: character not in current room

[close]

This happened when I was trying to admit a 9th person in the 2nd stage whose ID was fine, if that is of any significance.

Full snapshot of the game screen when the error occurred here: https://i.ibb.co/mSmmxhx/bouncer.png

Hotspot hunting sounds about right  In a good way, though

I'm sure it's just me being dumb but I'm still stuck. I know what I need to do, but I can't find the right item.

Spoiler

I have used the door stopper on the log as a makeshift splitting wedge, but still can't seem to find anything to hit it with (the heavy block, I presume). I thought one the stones in the bag just outside the door would do the trick but the hero won't pick them up. Halp?

Got it, off to a (pixel) hunt for it!  Thanks for the tip

Spoiler

I'm missing the mallet then. I got the door stopper, the broken broom, salt, bowl, can opener, lantern, matches, hardtack.

Nicely done, TBP! But I think I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I don't know how to light a fire. I have found a log outside, but I have no tool to split it with. I thought it would be in the outdoor cabinet but the character won't open it.
Then I thought I was getting somewhere with the broom but again, no tool to cut the straw with. I'm probably missing something obvious?

It was a screenshot of an error, seems one of your characters ("Apocalyft") is missing frames in view 7, loop 2.
