The Legacy RESULTS!


So, especially soon for the Comp's deadline, we are announcing the final score of

The Andromeda Legacy - Competition.

With a brilliant story, told with flavor and... some technical problem, the Second best is:

--- Tree and Star, by Paul Lee
To the author the prize of € 100,00!

And then, with a game which is running for Game of the Year (in my mind, I mean), WINS the Comp:

--- Andromeda Dreaming, by Joey Jones
To the author the prize of € 150,00!



You can find extended commentaries from the jury (namely: me and Wade Clarke) here.

Thanks all for playing—and to Wade for the extremely careful and fun judging—, you really made my day.

The Andromeda Legacy competition: Update

As the deadline expires, two games reach my inbox!
They are:

Andromeda Dreaming, by Joey Jones
Tree and Star, by Paul Lee

Both look promising. The judging committee (namely, me and Six author Wade Clarke) will decide on the winner in the next 30 days.

The games have been publicly made available here.

Good luck to all the entrants and a special wish for the one (name withheld on purpose) who didn't submit his work in time due to health problems.

As a final note,  a heartily thank you to all who committed in this competition. The authors, the judge(s), the ones who talked to me about it with suggestions and proposals and all who played Andromeda Awakening in the last few months rating it in the IFDB.
You made this thing funny and I hope it spawned two new Sci-fi masterpieces, 'cause Sci-fi sure needs it.

Have fun,

—Marco

The Andromeda Legacy Competition is speeding ONWARD!


So, it seems the Universe did't end this week-end.

The Competition is GOING ON, as we found at least THREE dedicated people who sent their intent before the deadline.
Now, the next step is making whatever sort of a game you can make in the next 2 months, starting from... yesterday!

Now I am looking for judges, as this won't be made in a poll-like voting system but via a jury.

Anyone interested in judging the games (remember: they can be speedIfs but even 100-roomers, although unlikely), please PM me (Jamespking @ intfiction.org) or write at the same old minnocenti (at) kidstudio (dot.it)

Thanks to all the participants and to all who did support this madness up to now!

Cya around June 30th for some heavy gaming!

Spring Thing 2012 - Sleuth by Scott Greig

This will be quick.

Unfortunately I don't have a PC.
I can't play this game.

And I'm not going to buy a Dell or something to play this game. I wouldn't have even if it was Trinity part 2. And it seems it is not.

I'm not going to judge it. Bet you saw that one coming...

(Fine JizaBoz [and not, as previously stated, JoeyJones*]. I'm on your game, now. Thanks for waiting...)

Bah.
