IntroComp goes live!
Aug. 22nd, 2008 12:13 amIt is my pleasure to report that the IntroComp version of Phoenix's Landing: Destiny (a text-based epic fantasy game) is live and out in public. Along with its 5 competitors. I haven't had a chance to scope out the competition yet (it is, after all, past midnight and I've been on a plane all day) but I will have to do so ASAP.
Here's the voting link:
http://www.xyzzynews.com/introcomp/
Some pertinent competition rules....
- Authors may not vote.
- Beta testers are allowed to vote, but only on games they did not test.
- Everyone else in the entire world may vote on as many or as few entries as they like, on the usual 1-10 scale (10 being the best). However, they are asked to judge games with one thought in mind, and one alone: "How much do I want to play more of this entry?"
We ask that judges please refrain from posting reviews of the IntroComp games during the judging period, so as not to taint the voting process, but feel free to send feedback directly to the authors prior to the voting deadline — after all, the best prize that authors receive is feedback, right?
If you have any interest, I encourage you to go play and vote and so forth. The voting deadline will be on September 5, 2008, with winners announced two days later on Sunday, September 7 at 2:00 PM Eastern.
