Yes. It's the moment you and I have been waiting for.

Congratulations to all of the submitters, particularly those who managed to use the submission template. To those who didn't, your inability to fathom the simplest instructions fascinates me.

Send a private message to me entitled "Scary Four Vote" with a list of your four most favourite games, number 1 being your most favourite and number 4 being your 4th favourite , like this:

1. Game1

3. Game3

4. Game4

Send Message

Note you do not have to vote for the scariest, or the best looking, or the best anything. It's entirely up to you how you judge what your "favourites" are.

Once these nominations are collected, there will be a second round of voting for the 4 top entries.

PRIZES:

OK, for those expecting to win $1000 - which toads are you licking? I'm not trying to sell you anything. I gain nothing if you take part (in fact, keep reading, I lose a buck). I won't own anything you make, it's yours. HUNDREDS of people take part in the most famous game comp, Ludum Dare - they don't offer anything at all except the fun of taking part. If you want prizes, give as you wish to receive. If you're in it for the money, you don't deserve anything anyway.

TRICK-OR-TREAT (EVERYONE)

Trick-or-treating is a tradition which promotes greediness, hostility and obese children.

To protest and as a companion to the prizes above, for every successful entrant* I will donate $0.50 $1.00 to UNICEF (up to an undisclosed maximum).

Less candy for those little shits knocking on the door and more food and medicine for the dying.

Now you have no excuse - do it for the children, you cold, heartless bastard.

DO YOU LUDUM-DARE** COMPETE?

*A 'successful entrant' is defined as an entrant who submits a legitimate game within the time limit, gets at least one vote in the preliminary judging and is someone who I determine has actually bothered to make a decent game.

Sorry the post is currently unfinished, literally took me the last 2 hours to get this far

Rob 12 years, 6 months ago

I know that voting is mandatory for participants, but are you going to make playing every entry mandatory as well?

Edit: Shift sprints in my game, I forgot to put that into the controls. It was 5am when I wrote those so I forgot about it.

Also, how are our votes added up? Are all 4 we nominate worth the same? Or is our #1 worth 4 points, out #2 worth 3, #3 worth 2, #4 worth 1 or some kind of similar system?

Toast 12 years, 6 months ago

I don't think I'm making it mandatory to vote anymore. But it is highly recommended.

And you don't have to play all the entries to vote, either. I couldn't get two of them to work properly, and some of them require installing things.

Cesque 12 years, 6 months ago

17 entries! 28 participants! (whoever Carrick, Allen, Cody, Gabby, Manuel, Jorden, and Josh are) Woohoo!

Candy Rush uses an installer, but it runs for me, here's a screenshot.

A friend of mine just discovered an error. It's not that serious… it's likely that most people could play though the game and not discover it… I only added one line of code to fix it. Would you mind if I re-uploaded my game?

Also, do all the entrants HAVE to vote?

Toast 12 years, 6 months ago

Ok go for it

orange08 12 years, 6 months ago

Done, also I edited my previous comment asking if it entrants were forced to vote.

Toast 12 years, 6 months ago

Not anymore they don't

orange08 12 years, 6 months ago

Mega's game just made my knees shake.

Polystyrene Man 12 years, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all the entrants! Couldn't get my shit together for this one, but it is definitely inspiring to see such a great turnout.
