| Announcement: 2010 OHR 8-Bit Contest! |
| Posted: Meatballsub @ Sat Feb 06, 2010 4:50 am |
Ok guys, I know it is sudden, but I had to do it. I just thought about an idea for a game that needs to be done, now. I could have stewed on it for a couple of months, brewing over the ideas and figuring out the design, but that wouldn't be fair. I want the playing field to be level, which is why the contest is officially a GO.
CONTEST SUMMARY:
The 2010 OHR 8-bit contest has officially begun! This contest will last from Saturday, February 6th (12AM EST) until Friday, March 5th (11:59 PM EST). That is four weeks, which should be plenty of time for anyone to participate if they would like to do so.
Entries MUST be submitted before Saturday, March 6th or they will not be considered for the voting period and eligible for prizes.
CONTEST RULES:
- Each contestant will be able to make their own custom 16-color master palette.
- You may use four max colors per map tile
- You may use three max colors per walkabout, hero and enemy sprites, attacks, and weapon graphics.

| Announcement: Game of the Month - March voting/April nominations |
| Posted: Mogri @ Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:24 am |
March voting
Vote now for the March 2010 Game of the Month!
The following games have been omitted from voting at the author's request:
- Phantom Tactics
- Village People: The Video Game
Sleepover received one nomination, but it is not on the Slime Salad game list.
You are free to re-nominate any of the above games, but they will not make the ballot unless circumstances change.
April nominations
If your favorite game isn't on the poll (or even if it is), nominate it for next month's! It only takes two nominations to put a game on the ballot. You can nominate up to three games.
Remember, any game is eligible -- it doesn't have to be new. The only restriction is that the game has to be hosted on Slime Salad and the game cannot have already been Game of the Month (even if it has been updated since).
Voting and nominations end on the 25th....

| Announcement: Game of the Month - March nominations |
| Posted: Mogri @ Tue Jan 26, 2010 10:23 pm |
The Game of the Month is a new feature that I'd like to start up here. Each month, the site will feature a game, to be selected by all of you, putting it on the front page and in a special announcement box on the gamelist. Basically, this is our way of saying, "Here is a game that you should play!"
How it will work
Each month, we'll take nominations for the next month's poll. Any game that receives a nomination from at least two people is eligible, and nominations are open for the entire voting period. Anyone can nominate up to 3 games.
The poll itself will decide what the next month's Game of the Month will be. It will close on the 25th of each month; at that point, the next month's Game of the Month and nominees have been decided and the new poll will be posted within a week.
Again, any game is eligible -- it doesn't have to be new. The only restriction is that the game has to be hosted on Slime Salad and the game cannot have already been Game of the Month (even i...

| Announcement: HamsterSpeak #35 Collage |
| Posted: Surlaw @ Wed Jan 20, 2010 3:20 am |
Good evening pig people. As you may know, with the release of HS#35, we will be celebrating three full years of issues. I want to do something fun that everyone can contribute to, and I remembered that way back in like 2001, we had a community collage, where people drew characters from their games and all of the images were assembled into one massive collage.
I'd like to try to do something like this for the anniversary issue, as a big art insert.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in. All you have to do is submit your art before February 20th, so I have time to compile them into one image. Some sort of background will be added by me.
The rules:
-You may draw as many characters as you like. They do not need to be from your own game.
-Please let me know the names of the characters you drew and what game they're from.
-Your picture should have no background of its own. This will be filled in when they're all compiled. If you can, save your image with a transparent backg...
