Congrats to Oneshot!

EDIT: Dammit I was trying to come up with something witty to say, then unity comes in and takes my thunder away.

Hm. Some more variety would have been nice, I think.
But hey, congratulations to the winners nonetheless!

That's not how video game awards work.

Well, that banner up top should link you to the poll. The nominations have been changed to the vote count.

Uh, nevermind. It's gone.

Well, here it is. Go check out the vote count!


Uh nevermind, it's up there.
plz edit your post again, Red
Congratz to the winners!

The Gameplay Mechanics and Interface categories ended up a total joke though. (I didn't even like Last Word that much, but it should've won both of these.)


This^^ I didn't like Last Word that much either, but the interface! Good lord
I wasn't expecting anything, naturally ( given the strong contenders ) but 3rd place for GOTY ain't bad. It ain't bad at all ( since I did get beaten by two tumblr games... ). Nevertheless, it is always galling to be beaten by a fan-work.

Oh, congrats to unity for coming 3rd for Most Promising Demo! ^^

Ah well. I'll come out guns blazing for 2016 with Tristy. I hope...

Thanks a lot! :D Wow, I didn't even notice that! That's so awesome! ^____^

I'll be cheering for you and Tristy in the coming Misaos!
Congrats to all who won.



Would be nice to get some limiters this year. You know, the ones that we talked about last year to avoid sweepage. Personally I'd have liked to have seen some of the other brilliant games out there from last year gain some love too, not just three games in general, even if they're good ones.

I mean, sure, OFF is great but it uses the 2k/3 default menu/battle system. >.<;
As does OneShot. Neither should have been up for grabs for the Interface Design.

I have to admit that I find it hilarious that QTPPC beat out Exuent Omnes and Flouret Blanc. in GOTY and Non-RPG categories. That's really, really funny. Kinda wish it had made it all the way to the top of the GOTY list, though, if only for the lols. (And because of the whole joke about it being GOTY.)

I am glad to see that Stray Cat Crossing got some love but it seems like the real winners this year is Tumblr.
Congratulations to the winner(s).
Darn though, getting closer to nabbing something each year. Some day...

In my mind, it's the 2nd most promising demo. HOME doesn't count.

So... Misao-shot?

Anyway, I guess I shouldn't be too down about these results. Or that Okiku didn't get enough (any?) nominations. I mean, it's a Hidden Gem, and that actually gets me extra lives makerscore!

I don't know... OneShot had those little pop-ups that asked you questions while in-game to give you the illusion that the game is actually talking to you. Aside from that, it also threw files on your computer to ensure that you could only play once, so that's thinking outside the box (for better or for worse).

However, I'm happy to see some Dreaming Mary up there.

Congratulations to the winners and the runners up, given the fact that there has been 450 additional games with a download available in 2014 even getting on the list is an accomplishment.

Also yeah Unity, LA is the silver medal winner, HOME shouldn't be in the Demo list.
