Fazer : You don’t have to actually enter a finished game – just a sample of it.

Yeah – I think it’s an odd rule myself too.

So, about these bribes then…

For all the World of Goo fans, the last word (that I am aware of) from Kyle is that they are aiming for a Summer release with Steam and Steamworks also being thought about. Linky.

The new award is great, it will permit classic non-abstract games to be recognized for good gameplay too.

It’s nice to see Phil Fish as the face of the IGF. The world needs more…fezes? Fezzes? Fezzezz? Is that even a word? Well, I get a nice warm fezzy feeling either way.

I got a little warm fuzzy feeling thinking about the indie festival…

Damnit, Seething, you let the cat out of the bag. Now I won’t even bother entering my Goo Physics Tower Defense prototype.

…

Actually, that idea sounds interesting. Hmm.

This year, I’m gonna enter something (into the student thing) no matter its state.

Eeee! Eeeeeeeeee! *faints*

Took them long enough to announce the deadline… but it being a month later than last year is Good News, I might actually be ready in time. I’d best get busy :D

Oooh, I hope you use your insider judging gossip to bring us lots of juicy news. That and to occasionally prod Kyle and ask him if World of Goo is ready yet.

It’s all great, but I seem to not understand one thing… The World of Goo isn’t even out yet? How could it be awarded as the finalist? What is taking so long to release it?

If it wasn’t for the entry fee, I could round up a friend or two and submit something worthwhile.

Instead I’ll just have to try making half-worthwhile crap on my own and not submit it instead. :P
