[gamecompo] Happy 2012, 1 week of Ludum Dare judging left!

Date: 2012.01.01 | Category: Syndicated Mailing List Posts | Author: Mike Kasprzak

Hi everybody,

We hope you had a great holiday.

This is a reminder to participants that there’s just 1 week left to
play and rate games created during Ludum Dare 22. We’re not asking you
to play 900 games, but if we can get everyone to play about 20 games,
that means everyone gets about 20 ratings. That’s enough to get a good
average per game, plus a nice variety of comments for everyone. And if
you can play and rate more than 20, that would be a huge help.

To get started (or continue where you left off), go here:

Thanks everyone!

[gamecompo] Ludum Dare – New Entry Voting Category: Mood

Date: 2011.12.16 | Category: Syndicated Mailing List Posts | Author: Mike Kasprzak

I have a bit of an announcement.

We’ve added a new entry voting category to the usual 8: Mood.

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2011/12/16/new-entry-voting-category-mood/

This doesn’t replace Humor, but acts to contrast it. If you really
feel like showing off, try to make something that’s both moody and
funny.

That’s all for now. I’ll let you get back to your games.
