Its great news to have some new prize donors!! {yolkfolk}:yahoo:
I just gave the demo version of Machinarium a play - and wow is it cool - a very clever take on the Dizzy problem solving style game. Its bound to be a treat for whoever wins that prize. :tup:
It seems that this years comp is gonna be bigger and better than ever - with some great games already announced and its only mid-Feb.
btw, Alex, any news on previous years prize donors?
I'll be delighted to continue sponsoring the comp and will add £20 to the prize fund. From reading previous threads, I don't mind if its added to the first prize total, but maybe to give more people a chance of going home with something, maybe it would be good to have it as a consolation prize to a runner up or split into 2x£10 prizes? {yolkfolk}:animwink:
Just a note on the scoring - it seems that if as expected we're gonna have more than 10 entries, it's inevitable that under the scoring rules, even if voters wanted to use all their votes, some games could possibly receive scores of 2 or 1 or even have no points at all. I think its something to bear in mind that if yours happens to be the game that does receive that sort of score. I think that as the comp gets more entries, then receiving 1 point should be more of an accomplishment than previous years as its probably more a reflection on it being good enough to make the top ten rather than being a poor game.
