I'm submitting You Have to Win the Game. I would be shocked if it were nominated for anything, but I might as well enter a game since I have one this year. Shrug

This would be a useful application for this thread and I support it.

The enthusiasm astounds me.
I always figured TIGSource was a forum that was very constructive and supportive of indies in general(I lurked a lot before making an account). Some posts and attitudes here just disappoint me, and I suppose that's why a lot of indies stopped coming here. Well, no one thing is perfect, and i'm just nitpicking.
The IGF is a great thing. To me, it's less about who wins and more about seeing all the games people have been building that you've never heard about.

Wanna talk? I'm always looking to meet and network with other indies!

It's highly likely that something will be getting submitted from these parts.

I'm wondering if Paul Eres will be submitting Saturated Dreamers, finally? :D

I've entered 3 times before and never got so much as an honorable mention... They were all different games and ones that got pretty good reception everywhere else I showed them, but I guess not what IGF was looking for. I suspect that I'm probably too disliked by TPTB to get nominated even if I submitted a good game, anyways, so fuck it. I have faith that my stuff will do alright on the market if marketed properly and IGF isn't really worth the $100 investment for such a small return, anyways.

Try to keep in mind it's not just the judges that go through the games. Usually there's a lot a reviewers who are looking for a scoop on an upcoming game as well. Not to mention gamers.

You also get to find out what people really think of the game as well.

It wasn't until I entered last year that some indies started to treat me like a total cunt (and not for working at Nitrome for once).

But I also got music for the game out of it, articles and useful feedback (not the judge feedback - not incredibly useful).

What I enjoy the most is people entering their games for the hell of it. Knowing my game would be overlooked, I wouldn't spend a dime in a competition such as this.

People, I'm restoring a house. Care to send some money my way? I would give honorable mentions to every single one of your games. And you'd help me buy a few sacks of sand/concrete and building supplies.

Come on guys, the drama and whining last year was much better. Are you even trying? I need my fix!

I am thinking of entering Tengami this year. It is feature complete, but still need a lot more content. What do you think how content complete a game needs to be before it makes sense to enter? We have about 30 minutes out of 4 hours of planned gameplay at the moment. Enough or too little?

half the judges say one thing, half say another, but there are several games that won that weren't released for another 2+ years. plus, last year's controversy was over how little the games were played. your game looks pretty cool, you should probably just go for it!

You should submit, it'll motivate you to get the game as complete and as polished as you can get it before the deadline. If you're hoping to release next year, there's the possibility that (as St33d said) even if it doesn't get anything from the competition itself, someone from a gaming website will notice it and try to find out more about it from you, which would get you pre-release exposure.

nyyjen: definitely submit it. It has very unique art style. I could definitely see it winning the Best Visuals category. Just add a bit more stuff in it. Right now it looks quite a bit bland and empty from the screenshots. Adding some more colors and life to it would push it a lot Wink

Yeah, this is a big one for me, I'm aiming to get DH to beta before the deadline.
