well then, make the game for the compo, then go back and redo it in a form you perfer, rules and game book wise.

My game is "done" in that I don't want to think about it until the 14th.

Posted it up on the

I decided to make another game, "The Last Band", a post-apocalyptic motorcycle racing battle-of-the-bands on steroids with a focus on using music to impact your opponents and trying to build a massive score.

To celebrate having a lot of classes canceled this week for no apparent reason, I will also be writing The Superhero Survival Guide, a game in four parts about surviving the trouble that occurs when four superheroes fight over who gets to disarm a bomb.

Say, I've got a duplicate review obligation to a game because I submitted four games and there's been some overlap. Anyone wanna trade a review?

[koipond]

I'm doing them all Kyle. I'm doing them all.

Not because I submitted any, but because I'm apparently a masochist.

[koipond]

also, I think you're going to have this problem the most since you submitted oh ... about 25 of the 92 games that were done this year.

=p

Only the new record setter.

If I could be as productive year-round and learn as much as I did that week, I could retire about three years ago.

Excellent RPG-blat work this year, Kyle. That's impressive! What are the flat odds that you're going to win? 3:1?

[kylesgames]

I submitted 4.78% or so of games this year., so assuming random selection, I'd say I have a pretty small chance of winning.

I'm pretty proud of a couple of my entries, though, so I would estimate my chances at up to 10% mostly on account of Constructs of Azazael getting pretty decent reviews along with Lantern in the Dark, just because they're better than I thought they'd be when I started working on them.

EDIT: I am, of course, judging this by whether or not I think I got the recommendation from each reviewer, as well as the fact that some of the games I've reviewed are pretty loosely related to the ingredients, or way short (I'm assuming that longer is better, and my games were usually pretty close to the limit).
