Blackwell, Ben Jordan... Awww crap...

[poc301]

I had a parallyzing thought a few moments ago that I had to share.  My blood ran cold and my heart fluttered.

I realized that after 3 years of development, my new game is about ready to be released...

But so is the new Blackwell game, as is the final Ben Jordan (both of which I will, or course, be playing).

I was hoping to stand a small glimmer of a chance at an AGS award this year.  Well, better luck next time   I hear 2015 is going to be a good year!

Yo can't fight the big biggle-bogle twinky ones!

Me neither!

What are you talking about? This year belongs to Gemini Rue.

[Calin Leafshade]

I dunno. Gemini Rue had some pretty big flaws. I think Blackwell might beat it in certain categories.

[Igor Hardy]

Any chance for the new McCarthy Chronicles this year, Calin? It would be 3 (or more) different Chronicles competing against each other then.

poc, it's not about that. It's about getting angry over a 2 cup rating.

What are you talking about? This year belongs to Barn Runner 5-3.

Damn right it does.  8)

[Grundislav]

Don't worry, Ben Jordan 8 is going to suck, so you're clear!

I hear 2015 is going to be a good year!

Resonance 2015!

What?!?!?!? I don't think I have enough time to do more music... Give me more time! 1000 days is not enough! PLEASE!

I think you should be more thankful that so far, Ben304 has only really released 1 game this year, and while it was awesome (mostly for featuring me), I don't think he'll have the sort of ownage of the awards he had the last two years .

Just three more months to go! At the most, he could make....12 more games .

Doesn't Ben compete in the short games category anyway? Release you game, poc!

Oh, you are so, so, so right on that one.  I am getting my capslock and my 1(!) key ready for this sucker.

Also, I wasn't mentioning McCarthy, because I didn't want to spur Calin into action.  That would make the odds insurmountable.

I completely forgot about Gemini Rue, I was only looking at the games still pending on the horizon.

Thank GOD that Ben isn't more active, or I might think about Hari Kari.  

Excuse me while I go sit in the corner and sulk.  :'(

Cat, you are right, at least mine will be in the full-length category

PS: Sorry for all the emoticons, I just realized this post is plagued with them.  So one more :  :o

If SLX get The Journey Down HD out before the end of the year, maybe it can take all prizes again this year.

Call me a genre conservative or a graphics whore, but even with their flaws, TJD and GR are my favorite adventure games in years. So yeah, it's a tough field to beat even before Blackwell and BJ.

[Ali]

Damn it, there are too many good AGS games! Can't we have a quiet year, just once?

[Dualnames]

YOU'RE ALL GONNA LOSE AGAINST THE MIGHT OF QPTAIN NEMO'S GAME.

EVEN THE TITLE IS SO AMAZING THAT ALONE IT SHOULD WIN.

"WHY IS EVERYONE SUCH A LITTLE B@#@?"
I mean, i can't help but caps-lock.

As for Gemini Rue, compared to all other AGS games, it's definitely the most professional. And awards, people. My favorite AGS game of all time, didn't get an award. So yeah. 

[Buckethead]

This is obviously the best game of 2011. Enough said. 

[gameboy]

I'm never gonna release my game because you guys keep making awesome ones every year.

[Calin Leafshade]

The probability of a new McCarthy would depend on whether or not i decide to actually make video games anymore ^_^ It's been like 18 months since my last one.

Expect more plugins though! Maybe there should be an award for those.

[Dave Gilbert]

This is assuming I remember to add Blackwell Deception to the AGS database.  I've forgotten to do that with the last few games I released. :x
