I played it and trust me, it's good. I don't know about mine though, I have a 6% chance of winning there are 9 more people that already have 5 more points than me. Mine is really just a simple, arcade-style, grid-based, game....all the others are more advanced. If I had heard about it in time I woulda made a Christmas RPG with elves and reindeer and stuff....oh well, I'll just save that for next year...By the way, how often are these contests? Just at holidays or what?

Do the games that have parodied other games get points for originallity? I can see it going both ways...

oh you totally must not be singling someone out here!

it was a grid based competition, so i knew that a lot of people were going to do sokoban clones/lode-runner style grid based platformers, because that's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of 'gridbased'. so instead of doing something predictable, i went and made something that hasn't been quite done in the klik community, a stealth game.

yes, the game is a parody of metal gear, but it's a well thought up one that required originality to get the plot together, and to make all of the elements fall together in a coherent, christmas way. i mean, it would have been easy for me to have put a santa claus in the game with a cardboard box, a box of cigarettes, a tranqulizer dart, and stun grenades, but that would have been copping out and not really thinking about the competition as a whole. and i even went through and created a backstory that makes sense as to why you're playing as santa claus sneaking through a house. if you're going to dismiss all of that as "LOL ITS STILL JUST A PARDY OF METLA GARE" then thank god you're not one of the judges because that's just looking at things on a superficial level.

EDIT:

my game was featured on kotaku:

Oh no! I LOVE your game! I was just wondering. I'm sure it will get 1st place and it makes me wish that I had started working on mine earlier, instead of working on it the day of. It's easy to see the differences.

I submitted my game to the downloads so you can see, and I'm sorry if I've offended you or anything because I didn't mean to at all, I was just wondering. I like your game a lot and it has got me interested in Metal Gear Solid.

Well, it is quite a complicated matter. The fact that you took MGS and gave it your own Christmassy twist is original, but you can't deny that the game concept is still Hideo Kojima's work.

BTW this Tim W. says on indygamer that 'Photographer' is the most preferred ranking. Is that so? Cuz I got that on my first try

most preferred meaning most people get it, not that it's the best. and if you can apply that same mentality to the rest of the games entered into the comeptition, none of those games are original by any stretch of the imagination, but i really don't care what you guys think because in the end it doesn't really matter what you think, i've gotten coverage on some big sites about my game, and a couple of emails, so stupid silly sore-baby comments don't bother me at all.

p.s. oh hay look that tiled based top down snes game about anime girls with hammers called panic in nakayoshi world would like a word with you!

Geez Podunkian, what's the matter with you? I loved your game and all I'm saying is: you're game might lose points on originality in this competition. And I ain't no judge, I can't decide shit on that matter. Just giving my opinion on the discussion is all.

You don't need to write whole essays to justify your game ideas. What the hell is the matter with you? Got a candy cane stuck up your ass from an angry MGS fan? You're acting like some noob who can't take criticism. I really didn't expected to see this kind of reply.

I agree with Hernan, seeing you run around here crying like a little girl and bashing the other entries is pretty disturbing, you made a good game that has a good chance to win the compo, but putting everything down is not really making that chance bigger, and is not making it any more fun for the other folks.

It's just a fucking TDC compo man, we all made a game for the fun of it, If you wanna win that bad I hope you will, but don't bother us with it, you're not THAT awesome.

Lol, Podunkian, you get really upset if someone don't treat you like a god because you put a santa hat on solid snake. =P
