2012, in Hugo XYZZY Eligibility
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 11:30 am
The Powers That Be are tallying up the list of eligible games for the 2012 XYZZY Awards ( http://xyzzyawards.org/ ). I just thought I'd make a post here, saying what games are up for nominations (and by whom).
loafingcoyote:
Escape From Ice Station Hippo
The Hugo Clock
ICJ:
Retro-Nemesis
Flack:
Spinning
Marius Müller:
Tales of a Clockwork Boy
Tdarcos:
Teleport Test
Paul Lee:
Tree and Star
World Builder
Personally, I don't have any games up on this list as "Party Arty, Man of La Munchies" was released a little earlier than the other Hugo Open House games, so it was on the 2011 list. Also, my other release of 2012, the Halloween Horror, was previously released in 2011 as the Ecto Horror. Anyhow, I'm a little disappointed that I didn't contribute to Hugo's presence in the 2012 XYZZYs, but I am happy to see others pick up the slack.
Notes about Games Not on the List-
As the notes for loafingcoyote's Super Madball! said that the game wasn't going to be uploaded anytime soon, it was decided that it'd be eligible when it is uploaded.
Likewise, as Tdarcos' Tripkey game calls itself a beta, the XYZZY organizers are not adding it until the year it calls itself a complete game, so Paul, if you just forgot to take off the beta stuff and update the release number, you probably can let them know.
All games in the last Open House will be on the 2013 XYZZY list.
I believe if anyone has more suggestions for the list or concerns about the excluded games, they can bring their concerns here:
