On accessibility grounds I found the 21-67 results went by with a really small font and too quickly for me to read easily. I managed to spot mine, but missed the placings of lots more! Looking forward to the full results online soon.
P.S. I will be giving this feedback in the post-comp survey
Congratulations, everyone. This was a joy! The standard was really really high this year, I thought, though itās my first time, so maybe itās always like this!
Congratulations everyone ā especially to my two favourite games this year, The Bat and Miss Goslingās Last Case, which took 1st and 6th place, respectively.
Congratulations to everyone for participating in these incredible adventures. Your dedication and enthusiasm have truly made a difference, and itās been an honor to share this journey with all of you!
You mean you agree with the results? Or that no one cheated? I have no reason to think anyone cheated (or would even be motivated to cheat), but I definitely have my own opinions on what the results should have been. Thanks to everyone who made a game, since they are what the whole thing is about. Especially the people who didnāt win.
I mean that I agree with the results, more or less. Out of the ones I judged, I rated Wasacona and Why Pout? higher than they placed, and LLLLL considerably lower, but those are the only significant deviations from my sample.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by cheating? Creating lots of accounts and self-voting, or anything more sophisticated? I have no way to know about either the amount or the methods.
I donāt mean anything by it other than that it would be unfair. In the absence of cheating the competition is almost by definition fair - it is just an algorithm on the votes of something like 100 people.
Wow. I knew this outcome was possible, but I didnāt think it would actually happen. It doesnāt feel real!
Thanks so much to everyone who played and voted, and to all the other authors for making such inspirational art! So many great games this year. It has been an honor. And thanks again to my Patreon supporters. I seriously donāt think I wouldāve finished The Bat without them. They helped me with the game during a very rough patch in my life.
There was a long time where you were more or less the most decorated/awarded author who had never won IFcomp or the xyzzy awards. I guess thatās over now. Congrats on a long-deserved win!
