News

All games are reviewed, and the final results are in! Check the reviews, they give a pretty good idea of what the games are like and some of them are really funny too. Thanks to everybody who helped out with reviewing!

I tallied the scores and posted the results. Unfortunately a few people didn't have time for the "jury duty". They have to be disqualified so I didn't give them a rank in the results table, but I still put their average scores at the bottom for comparison. The winner shouldn't be a big surprise, congratulations go to Team Darkbits for an excellent game.

Thanks everybody for participating, and hopefully see you again next year.

As promised, I've compiled a package with Windows binaries of the TINS entries, v1 I'm already aware of some issues with this package, an updated version will follow soon. Windows binaries of the TINS entries, v2 There is an ongoing discussion on this package over at allegro.cc, if you encounter new problems please add them to the discussion thread

I'd also like to mention, if you haven't seen it already, the effort of Simon Parzer to make all entries work on linux

In other news, I just opened the voting page. All registered participants can log in to access the voting page. An email with detailed instructions will follow soon. Deadline for casting votes is April 30, and I'll announce the results right after!

And the competition is over! You can find the submissions by clicking on "entries". I'll prepare a windows binary package but it will take a week or two so please be patient. Voting will start soon after a binary package is available.

I just spend a few evenings getting the site in good shape. I hope that it will continue to run smoothly so that during the competition itself I can spend my time fixing bugs in my entry, not in this site :)

For example, I've finally fixed that annoying bug that caused extra slashes to appear in the user info field.

During the competition, there will be an upload link in the menu on the right, you can use that to upload your entry to the server. Submit something as early as possible, even if you intend to continue on it. You'll have the chance to keep uploading improved versions until the final deadline.

Also, the message logs are open already. Feel free to post something about your feelings of anticipation :)
