@Edgar: </3 We'd be curious to see what you cooked-up anyway, finished or not.

Considering my game isn't finished, I'm going to turn it into an E-card. I can manage to do that, at least. ;P

I've got all the minimum stuff in there, I just need to add a boss level then I have a complete but very short game.

If I'm up late maybe I can craft a second level before the deadline.

Oooh, I did send an email about 9:56AM EST with my submission to your gmail. Did you manage to get it? And just now I put up the announce post: https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/618320

Got it! I'll add your entry, together with push32's, to the uploads page in a short while.

Status update:

9 completed (I uploaded Mark's entry to the site)
1 waiting - I'm still waiting for push32 to contact me to retry that failed upload
5 definitely out
1 probably out (no confirmation from Relpatseth yet)

With 10 entries out of 16 participants, I consider that a pretty good haul this year!

I'm going to wait a bit longer to resolve these before I send out a concluding email.

Do you have a place where you can upload it yourself? Then just link it from your depot thread, and perhaps also from your log for completeness sake.

I'm silly :

The zip file I submitted doesn't include sources, just binary for Windows, but also doesn't include Allegro DLLs because it were more than 5MiB.

I really don't know what I was thinking about. I'll create the thread at the Depo forums and see.

Yeah, I removed the voting count-down. I didn't think this part completely through.

The trouble is, the TINS site voting part is completely geared towards TINS, not KrampusHack. For example, it will make you vote on art/tech/genre/overall categories, but that doesn't really make sense right now. Since everybody had different requirements to start with, it's not really easy to pick a winner anyway.

Instead, I propose we do the following: review the games here on the forums. Most games already have an allegro.cc depot thread, so you can just add your review in there. If you want to go further, you may also send your reviews around to the tins competition mailing list. Everybody is welcome to declare a winner from their own personal perspective, and if somehow a clear consensus arises from that, then we may elevate this to official status.

The most important thing is to get these games played! I love getting feedback on my own game and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. With that in mind, it would be great if somebody could help me compile a windows binary pack. Is anybody interested in doing that? I can find hosting space for it.

by the way, last status upate:

I've also added RmBeer's entry to the site. It's late so it should be disqualified for any prizes (spoiler alert: there aren't any), but I still think it's nice to fulfill one more secret santa.

So with that, we've got 11 submissions out of 16. Not bad at all!

@amarillion :
Thank you very much for still adding me to the list, even though it was a bit late.
At least I can say that I have finished a game for the competition, sure?

I look forward to it! Windows, please.

You can already see Poyo on GitHub. The README will tell you how to use it, and will provide links to examples and a reference guide. You can then get a better feel for how I used Poyo in my little KrampusHack game (forum post and source on GitHub).
