I'd recommend that all authors vote for their own games because it would actually be less fair to other contestants if you abstain. Don't forget, this is a contest of averages, not of ranking. The fewer votes your game gets, the higher your score will likely get. Reminder: Vikings of Midgard took se...

Spoonweaver, you're allowed to vote for your own game, just to let you know.

Cube, I'll most likely send you the results when I compile them.

I can answer that one for you, Harlock, since that's where I stopped playing, and consequently never got around to writing that HamsterSpeak review I had promised you guys and Wobbler so long ago. After a few battles, I'd be so badly damaged that I would have to go sleep at the inn, which cost me mo...

Well, guys, the time has come to give this contest some extra meaning. That's right, the voting period is now open. Here's a copy/paste of the voting conditions according to my initial post launching the contest: Voting will run from December 16 - December 31 (I'll extend this to a few extra days in...

Ah, now that makes sense to me. Yep, I completely understand where you're coming from with that. I have been recycling the current tracks, and doing so with relative ease. The only point where it's gonna hurt is when I build the nightlife section of the game, which I don't feel any of the current tr...

Man how I wish I could get a few more '80s tracks out of you for my game, especially now that I've got a new version coming out quite soon. These are great. Each track you put out gets richer and richer with layers. Yeah, I've been looking forward to playing Cool Guy Bob Surlaw, but I admit that the...

Mystic, I know you said you had a lot of problems with your game. You can have the extra week to sort them out. I don't want an unplayable mess up for a vote. Do what you can to get it playable. But it's up to the players to decide whether to wait for you or not. Anyone else have game-crippling bugs...

Okay, so I haven't heard anyone make a formal request to extend the bugfix deadline another week due to lack of player feedback, so I will count this contest officially closed with one exception. If anyone encounters a game-breaking bug, or if a player reports one between now and the 14th, I will al...

So... haven't gotten any feedback whatsoever on The K'hyurbhi Lands and it's almost the end of the bugfixing week already. I know people have downloaded it, so... anyone played it yet? Urgh, I think you just exposed a bug in the week-long bugfix period. If everyone gets caught up playing the earlie...

My question however is, how should I go about applying this to wandering NPCs? I use timers for things like that. If you set a timer for, let's say, (1,0,5,@npc through the door), and then have "plotscript,npc through the door,begin" check whether an npc is standing on that zone, and then...

Mogri, the official deadline for games and their bugfixes is Dec. 7th (6am EST Dec. 8). As usual, I am willing to put the deadline up for contention if enough people need it stretched. I won't do it for one game, though. I don't get the sense that many contestants need the bugfix period longer, so t...

This is also why it's better to set the heroes' names at the top of the box and start the dialogue below if you're allowing player-inputted names. Naming the town should definitely have a string limit, though. Fortunately, there are very few dialogue boxes I've found so far that would need that eigh...

And the seed quest.. if what you mean is the magicnut used in pearville, that quests is complete, and was complete in the last version too. It's just super secret. Oh, okay. The thing you wrote about in the spoiler, I already saw happen. I thought there was a second part because the gardener contin...

I read the Heart of the OHR article. I just wanted to clarify that late entries will not forfeit the winning prizes; they only lose the entry prizes. They can still win the first place prizes if they take first. I don't want the article to send the wrong message to people who still want a chance at ...

Spoonweaver, I'm still playing through Legendary Heroes , but here are some bugs I'm discovering as I go. Check this post from time to time in case I edit in new reports. Bugs: After you slay the squid beast in the giant lake, the proprietor of the monster guild says, "Here's your reward,"...
