How long is the voting period normally?

It was a month last year. 25-ish days for 2021-2022, and 15 days before that
(according to the IFWiki).

Three-Four weeks would be nice for sure, instead of two.

Can we rate games that we tested?

I would very much enjoy having the full month to really bask in all these games.

Wow I’ve only had a chance to look at a couple but the standard seems really high this year :smiley:

I’m not sure about the voting period. I think 2 weeks is probably too short given the number of games this year, not sure if things might slow down a lot by 4 weeks. I’d still think 3-4 weeks would be needed though :slight_smile:

Question for people with games. If I find anything interfering with the gameplay itself I was going to point it out (I’m not doing full reviews, just comments on the games.) But if I find any very minor bugs though (like the wrong name being displayed, repeated text etc) especially in petite mort games where changes can’t be made until after the comp would this be helpful to know about? (I don’t want to seem overly critical especially given the speedgame timelimit, but not sure if this is something people who make games would like to know about or not for post game edits if needed.)

Fixed, it is one month, also, yes most of us prefer it that way.

Yes.

There are so many games, I think a month would be appropriate.

What a great Comp! :slight_smile:

Just for those who are interested in trying parser games not in their native tongue, the IF Postcards are really helpful and list basic commands in each language (coupled with google translate for reading, this should let people who don’t know much of other languages to still play):

Unfortunately, this does not account for special verbs that are hinted in gameplay.

Just FYI for everyone- I uploaded a new game file with a bug fix for Dark and Deep.
