I’m in. 30 days to grade 10 games. (I’m not necessarily barred from the games I tested, but I don’t feel quite comfortable judging.) I hope to post on my blog, http://drdanstreetmentioner.blogspot.com.
Right now I’m drawing a Trizbort map for Mean Streets, too.
Now that I am funemployed, I am planning to play all the games. I just finished the first one, looking forward to the rest.
Hadn’t heard of Trizbort before, looks neat!
here in Brazil, it’s carnival. Samba, people running halfnaked in the streets… not really my cup of tea, as any geek. So instead I took the time to catch up with IF for good. I was into Curses and Muldoon these days but just spent this whole night playing 2 games from the competition. They are far smaller (and unpolished) than those 2 classics… Once I play at least seven, I can submit.
Not sure if that Carolyn gal will accept my vote after kicking me out of the other board, though… perhaps I’ll just use another handle…
I was intending to review the games but I’m not too keen on the six categories in which scores of 1 - 5 need to be assigned. It seems a bit anal for my liking and a lot of hassle deciding how many points the puzzles in one game are worth or whether it was technical enough to get a 5 out of 5. I’d be a lot happier with a simple 1 - 10 score and just one category: how good was it?
So I might just write some reviews of the games, assign my own marks and leave off voting.
I recommend it, whether in its previous state or its current development.
http://trizbort.genstein.net is the old version.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/25ocdytvl03lomw/Trizbort.zip?dl=1 is the in-process version. The main upgrade is that it keeps track of regions.
Well, there’s no reason she would. Didn’t realize you got kicked out. I’d think a lot of people banned from newsgroups have probably been allowed to vote in IFComp. You just have to provide constructive criticism.
Also: my first review is up. http://drdanstreetmentioner.blogspot.com/search/label/parsercomp
I’m disappointed. I really wanted to enter this comp, but I also kind of knew I had no time to start a new game. Glad it happened, though!
