yay!! some answers to all of your big questions! Well the contest is underway and I have no favorites as of yet, so I want to put down some thoughts for everybody to ponder over.
First off, I want you to realize that I will only play your game ONCE unless I am really impressed. If I am not, I will shelve it. If you have a very negative comment from me, your game is out - period. So big game makers out there (I'm speaking of Mattias, Cryptode, the Cave - none of which I've played yet) know this. Impress me ONCE. If you publish your unfinished game and I play it and I don't care for it, that's that. Make sure your games either have a story line that's strong enough to really grab attention, and if you're lacking in that department, make sure that it utiizes as many special features as possible such as the score options, objects and pictures on every few pages. This can be critical to keeping attention and to making a good game.
I'll address any other contest questions in this forum thread.
