GOTW #282 - Brave Honey Bee
News posted 25th May, 2008 by The Chris Street  
Grickmin's game, created for the 20-Event Klik Competition - called Brave Honey Bee - wins this weeks GOTW award. Excellent work there Mr Grickmin!

Click here to download the GOTW

This weeks entrants - Super Blob Frog, Super Smash Bros: Arena, Blue Friends, Pencil & Paper 20 Event Deluxe Version, Zoomstar MegaRacing Maximum, EmI, Abduction, and GunGirl.

I think I was slightly generous with the inclusion of Abduction... it didn't have a screenshot of in-game action, nor did it have a decent description. Next time I won't be so nice...

And we thought Rikus was bad it's 3 letters!

Well done Grickmin, good game!

Abduction has a better description now. The screenshots got all whacked out and those have been fixed aswell.

What the heck??? I corrected it!

Stupid website... sorry mate.
 
Posted by Codemonkey 26th May, 2008

lol, EiM you mean?
 
Posted by The Chris Street 26th May, 2008

Fixed now... not sure exactly what happened there, it was there on the Edit News page...

Website gremlins...
 
Posted by t0nad0 26th May, 2008

I think I prefer the misspelling IeM the most, but EmI works too

Just a question:
Am I going to get a GOTW-symbol in my profile?

Thanks to everybody who voted for Brave Honey Bee!

Just a question:

Are all the votes for EmI or w/e legit? They seem to have gone up pretty fast, that's all. 17 people have downloaded it yet it already has 15 votes... I know that's perfectly possible, but also:

Also some dude registered today just to give the game a 5 star rating? http://www.create-games.com/profile.asp?ID=29887

Seems a bit fishy to me

You guys are ridiculous. The only thing I did was release my game on Acoders, and citizen made a comment telling people to vote for it here. If that's wrong, sorry, but I'm going to release my games on my website.

Not to mention the fact my game name was misspelled, removed from the list, and now put on and misspelled again, and the people complaining about my supposed cheating doing the same. It's three letters, it's not hard.

Guy who made a comment on my game was actually my best friend IRL and I told him in my glee of excitement. If you want to take that one vote away from me (even though he came here on his own) then go ahead -- I could care less (and still fail to see how my friend supporting my game is against the rules). He was a great help in helping me shape the game to the professional level it is today, and I felt he deserved to know how well it's doing (or how well you guys think I'm cheating). To the best of my knowledge though all the votes are legit and chances are they're because I posted news on Acoders.

You guys take this thing way too seriously though, I wouldn't cheat, I spend my time doing things well and I like getting recognized for that, but I don't need to create fake validation. People who know me will vouch for that.

And while I'm at it, this site is completely unfair in its promotions. Compare the downloads of all the games who get front page blurbs with screen shots to those with only get blurbs and the ones who get nothing at all. You'll see a definite scaling in downloads. That's completely unfair for anyone involved in the GotW competition. It's completely playing favorites.
 
Posted by -Nick- 26th May, 2008

While i do think it's unfair that games get overlooked (as i commented previously), i do think it's unfair that an individual can enourage people to vote with bias towards one game. One should download all the available games for the award and then choose the one he feels deserves the award.

Although people should also bare in mind that the award doesn't actually mean anything, and the day after it is given, no one on Earth will know about it anymore!

"Guy who made a comment on my game was actually my best friend IRL"

So you're getting friends to sign up just to vote for you? That seems a bit wrong.
 
Posted by danjo 27th May, 2008

atleast he has friends adam
 
Posted by danjo 27th May, 2008

and i voted for it, because i DID think it was the best of that lot with the racing game a close 2nd.. i leaned away from the racing one caus eit got really boring fast.
 
Posted by Ski 27th May, 2008

Oh there we go, personal attacks, lol.
 
Posted by -Nick- 27th May, 2008

Not cool, danjo, not cool. We're meant to be keeping the community friendly, not calling some of the most active members of it loners.
 
Posted by t0nad0 27th May, 2008

You surprised me. You guys have been attacking me, don't see how it's different if you've been here longer.



I didn't get him to vote for me, he did it on his own, because that's what friends do sometimes. Made me smile, sorry for having supportive friends.



Edit: Gungirl just went up 3 votes since I last checked this morning, let's go attack him too!!

You're failing to see the difference between personal attacks accusations.
 
Posted by t0nad0 27th May, 2008

Right, because making judgments about me is so much better.

Done arguing here, -Nick- made a good game, I'm excited to see how things play out. Think what you want about me, I really don't care anymore.
 
Posted by Codemonkey 27th May, 2008

You can't say that the votes jumping 5 points really fast is "judging" you. It's resonable to have suspicions you know.
 
Posted by grickmin 27th May, 2008

Am I going to get a GOTW symbol in my profile?
 
Posted by -Nick- 27th May, 2008

Haha, you really want that symbol

Send a PM cos the admins probably won't check this little board.
