Whoooooo!  Sorry I haven't been around to answer questions today - I've been laid out pretty badly by a nasty stomach virus.

Re: deadlines/updates - as Melly explained (thanks!) I'm pretty lax about people turning in entries a wee late or providing small fixes/updates after the deadline.  And if you need hosting, just ask.

The entries are looking hot hot hot!  Congrats, everyone!

Awww, get better soon Derek!

Also, The Awesomesaucer has landed. I repeat, the Awesomesaucer has landed.

I love this place.

This compo is made of awesome and waffles. 
Too many amazing games.


My entry kinda.. exploded 
I just ran into too many bugs, and didn't have enough time to finish it.
Blah, I'll win next time 

[Ivan]

Oh man this is going to be an awesome night of playing all the entries!

[moi]

Wow so many great entries, congratulations to everyone!
It will take me a while to test out all these.
Also it would be a good idea to leave feedback to all entrants when possible.

Yeah, even though the feedback given to TIGCompo entries is usually pretty damn good, let's kick it up a notch!

[Guert]

How many official entries?

[Melly]

We can't know until Derek actually sounds the horn, since it seems a couple of people are still posting last-minute ones. It seems to have stopped for a while though, so I think I'll go count.

Counted around 49 entries. Holy crap.

[Ivan]

3 more than VGNG!!

[Melly]

Is Derek still bedridden? He should probably have announced the end of the deadline by now.

[Jeferson R. Silva]

I'd like to leave here my congratulations to everybody who took part on this contest.
It is great to see so many cool game ideas and I'll definitely save some time to play all the entries.

Keep up the good work!

Yes please do, I could use all the feedback you can give, TIG-people!

[Derek]

Okay, going to start putting the entries into a list today and make sure all the downloads are working!  Will also provide some feedback.

I've included all threads that declared their game finished and produced a downloadable game
But there were a couple of thread were , although the authors had given up on the competition, they had managed to put up a playable demo and I think these might be worth checking too, especially since there's a strong "experimental" vibe to this compo.

-Mechanical Psycho
-Space Rage Truckin' Deluxe

If you notice a game I forgotten please mention it thanks

[Derek]

Whoa, thanks again, moi!  Dear Lord, that is a lot of entries.

So what do you guys think about number of votes?  I know some people wished they had more last time (you were allowed up to 3 votes for the VGNG compo).  I think 10 might be a bit much, so I'm proposing as a general rule that you get 1 vote for every 10 entries, so you would get 5 votes for this one.  Opinions?

Also, can I still make a last-minute tweak?

Sure, go ahead.

[moi]

What about 6?

[Melly]

5 to 7 are good.

Uploading final FINAL version now.

Done. Enjoy people.

[Guert]

Great job people! And I must say, the entries is looking particularly sweet Now All I need is some time to check out ALL these entries. 
Congrats to all who participated!
