Quality of graphics will be a major part of the judges' assessments, so yes.

I lose. =(

I submitted mine. I got it to a point where it's not crashing on my system anymore, but it's crashing on my tester's machine, so now I don't know what to think.

I think mine's done. I just have to test it one more time...

Well, I think it's over, we just have to wait for MadTom to get online and announce it and close everything down I guess.

I count 13 different entries (not counting the five bugfixed versions of various people's things for 18 total.) Holy shit. That is amazing. This is about the most successful WoZ I've ever seen.

I'm just glad I got to be a part of it!

Well 13 is a lot lower than 30 but yeah it still is pretty good. Not at all bad, at least.

Madtom just died of a marijuana overdose after finding out that he was pregnant.

This was a lot of fun. :D... I sort of wish I had taken today and put a bit more work into my entry, but still, I'm overall satisfied with my game.

Speaking of which, all the entries are really, really well done. All the ones I've played are impressive. :)

13 out of 30 implies that a little more than one in three entrants actually came through, which is almost unheard-of in WoZ. I think it's fantastic.

Ah, crap. I just noticed a pretty big bug. Oh, well.

The contest closed at 5pm, and the upload script is now disabled. Sorry I'm late back to the table, I lost access to the internet at a pretty inconvenient time. Because of this, I'm going to allow gingermuffins' bugfix through, given he was only 18 minutes late. You lucked out, kid!

Thanks to all who submitted. I'll collect valid entries in a ZIP, send them to Oof and Quantum P., and start my own judging this afternoon. In the meantime, the original files (properly fixed and renamed) are on the submission page for your perusal.

I should've done something, but I had some homework to put off, internet to surf, etc. If nothing else, I've got an idea for the next WoZ I guess.

Also, holy crap there were 13 entries. That's pretty cool.
