Peoples' Choice voting will open up at some point in the next day or so, and expect a podcast about the results within the next few days.
So we will get a re-vote. Finally. :) Because I kinda shocked that accordingly to unofficial poll it say Suzy and freedom should won with 4 votes than 2 vote with rust and blood...
And congrats again to all entry and hope that we could get accurate result as accurate that the end result isn't the majority of entry is second place again.
And special congratulation to the winner of the contest. Well you really enjoy the prize.

During this dramatic pause (caused by computer problems) I'll just mention the other games who some of the judges had in their top 10 which didn't make the final cut.
In no particular order:
When the Bell Tolls
Zombies Halloween Edition
Grounded
Town Of Illustive

Some stastistics:
Between the three of us we only had 14 games between us in our top 10s.
Me and Caz both had Resident Evil as our top game, if only Decky hadn't told us not to consider his game.
So my game is with some judges top 10 list Sweet... or I didn't read it correctly...
And also why those game and mine didn't made it...?
It kinda like that I want to work on episode 2 right now but it Christmas and also typhoon Haiyan cause a ton of damage and death (Over 6,000 Death here) to my country so I don't think this isn't a good time to work on episode 2.
And also because of this I also thinking if there an RMN Game making Christmas event or other Christmas event I already thought what theme that I will work on. Since I want them to forget about the typhoon and to be happy and celebrate a very special Christmas.
But still good that I manage to supposedly to be on the top 10 or a game being decided by the judges...

I was wondering the same thing myself know that December came. I guess people are just too busy here @ RMN to organize something this year.

Regarding your country's situation, I guess your focus should be in rebuilding and if there's chance, to have something nice to help people forget, if just for a moment, all the tragedy involved.

Regarding your game @ least one (not all) of the judges had you in their top ten. I guess I would call it symbolically an Honorable mention. It also means that you're getting better @ gamemaking. About Ep. 2, I think every here understands if you postpone working on it since you need to put your energies elsewhere. I dealt with an earthquake that killed over 20,000 when I was four. Although I don't seem to remember that much, I know that it took my town @ least a couple of months for things to start going back to normal.
hey guys it's december 3rd. Give us a small break here. (and yes we have a winter game making event planned, and another really COOL event planned after that)

Yes you were 10th on one of the judge's list. You weren't too far from my top 10.

As for a Christmas contest, I hope it's not too involved Christmas is a busy time of year for me.

A game-making event, not a review event? That would be a switch!

Is this still a thing that is happening at some point? I assume it's just a matter of December being one of the busiest months of the year, which I fully understand, but I was just curious.

Yeah, totally. I'll start a poll now, actually.

I'll also be issuing prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and Caz is editing the podcast for me :)
Does anybody even care at this point? I mean the contest ended more than a month ago. My bet is there won't be alot of votes this time either.
