Is there an official way to enter the contest? My entry is almost complete, but I'm not sure where to go to cross the i's and dot the t's.

I'll update soon regarding submission. To discourage early submissions I usually wait till the last week. Otherwise I have to deal with a bunch of people resubmitting with changes etc. I'll be sure to post everywhere and make it obvious what is required.

But yes, it will be the same as last year. If you want to start getting a description.txt file based on this template started check it out here: http://nesdevcompo.nintendoage.com/file ... iption.txt

VOTING HAS STARTED

Post by NESHomebrew »

Hey Everyone, I've sent out all the emails for the voting. I decided to use a spreadsheet format this year, which turned out to be a lot of extra work, but hopefully it will improve the overall experience. I've left room to comment on each of the voting categories, as well as a large field for any general comments.

Here is a link to view the master copy for anyone interested: Compo2019

Ah dang, messed up some conditional formatting... a costly mistake @ 13 entrants x 13sheets. Estimate it will take me 5.5 hours... So in other words, it isn't getting done this year :) Basically it was supposed to turn the cell red if you put a value greater than 10 or less than 0. Somehow when I changed it for for the one >20 it also applied this to the >10 fields.

Awesome. Looks great. Thanks for all the work you put into this. Definitely wouldn't have as many cool NES projects out there if it wasn't for you.

Did everybody's sheet come pre-filled with their own game given full marks? Heh. Took me a few seconds to figure out everybody got their own spreadsheet. At first I thought it was a shared sheet and that the first reviewer played my game first and thought it was the bees' knees. Which seemed flattering, but unlikely... lol

Can't wait to play through all the games tonight. :D

How are we assessing for the multiplayer award? Am I overlooking something in the spreadsheet?

I'll be posting a poll this week to vote on the multiplayer. It will be open to anyone for a week. I'll be doing the same on NA and will combine the results.
