Slime Salad

Technically, voting is open until September 30th, based on what I've outlined on the front page. This deadline was set in order for players to have time to get through longer games (like Dragon Chaser). I want to end it much sooner since the majority of games are not that long. However, I can still ...

Thanks for the votes, guo. Remember, you can (and should) vote for your own game. Just be honest how you feel about it, even if you feel it deserves the highest marks. Scores are based on averages, and by omitting your own score for it, you could be negatively affecting it. Don't do that. To everyon...

Do you have a death wish for me or something? Sometimes art requires sacrifice. Just kidding. You could probably get the same effect with 480x300. The visual window is so compact that it's hard to get a feel for the place. That's all. Whatever gives the player more room to see what's going on. I th...

And for my last trick, I will review the final two official entries. Grab your popcorn and your favorite chair; this is gonna get good. (Or, at least be more of the same.) Grapnes II: Kepnalcide: Disclaimer: I have not played the original Grapnes to make any sense of where this is coming from. I als...

Here are a couple more: Dark Planet: Synopsis: A cadet attacks his supervisor for "training" and is given a mission to deal with a beetle infestation after passing the test. That's about all that's established so far. I'm sure the finished game will be about more than this. General Opinion...

Just to let you know, all textboxes and menus pause the timer. The only exceptions are the ones that "count down," like the clock and the repair windows. So, the game self-pauses pretty much all of the time, and you never need to worry about running out the clock while you're writing somet...

How's everyone doing on their first impressions? How much of each game are you playing? Are we going to be able to play them all before the end of the month? While you're thinking about that, I've got a couple more quick reviews. Dragon Chaser: Synopsis: A young woman, whom we are given a name, Kali...

Here, I took a map I made last year and modified it with labels and things. If you click on the image, it should take you to the hosted photo. From there you can download the image for the highest quality. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h35/zippywings/hybrid%20city%20v2%20with%20best%20labels_zps...

Thank you for the response. I definitely feel like it all makes more sense now. I'll get to playing it when I'm done working on my own project for today. Be sure to provide plenty of feedback on your experience. One thing no one's done yet is to write a "daily journal" of their activities...

I'm just gonna pop in here; I just played Entrepreneur for the first time. I... am very confused. The first time I played, I ended up buying too much ground coffee in the tutorial and didn't have enough money to get paper cups, so I ended up stealing them. But then I realized I also needed a new fi...

Thanks for taking a good critical look at my game. I wrote it a while ago and I'm honestly considering rewriting those awkward early parts. Baldy was just a poorly implemented plot device to get Damien to leave the house and eventually meet the real antagonists, but I think I could replace them wit...

Okay, I've been playing some of these games. So far, so good. I wanted to give my early impressions while I'm thinking about them. Surfasaurus: Synopsis: Dinosaur is banished to a small island where surfing and trivia are king, and he must somehow make a new life for himself as a surfing champion am...

Hey guys, To all of you who participated this year, I just sent out your links to your entry prizes. Tell me if you did not get your message. You all have the same message, so there shouldn't be any problems. If you have questions about the prize, feel free to ask. Thanks again for your participation.

Going to hold a dissenting opinion and say that Surfasaurus, an Animal Crossing-esque game with the veneer of a surfing game, has no place being in a contest nominally about RPGs. Do we need to have a Heart of the Heart of the OHR at this point? Or do we go the direction this contest seems to be go...

Oh, and just a quick note, The Wobbler has agreed to host the contest results again. He also informs me that Surfasaurus will need lots of time given its use of the real time clock, so I'd recommend you all start on that one today. It may take until August 31st to get a fair impression of it. Not su...
