I'm definitely impressed!

Well, the contest deadline's passed, and to say the least, I'm really impressed with all of the entries I've tried so far, and am having a blast trying them out. If you weren't involved with the contest, or haven't checked out the entries yet, make sure you check 'em out here. Great work everyone!

Woah, did I miss something? I didn't realize that the Entries were already up for download...

EDIT: Some of the screenshots do look very impressive!

Yep! Some of the entries have been up for over a week now. I like how Gamedev did the contest submission this year (upload issues aside [smile]). The only thing I'd change would be the upload issues (of course), and to have the entries in the contest entry forum show up on the Active Topics list. Other than that, I thought it was a great contest.

I'm thinking of putting up a BitTorrent of all the entries so far if I can find the time to download them all myself. It would save a lot of trouble for people who want to play them all but don't like having to get one or two at a time. Any takers? And where is a good tracker to submit to?

I think we should be able to host the tracker here on GDNet. Give me a couple of days and I'll try and sort it.

I already put one together using a public tracker.

I'm the only seed so far. Spread the word!

Everyone should give feedback to the entrants.

Check out the forum and show them people are enjoying the games.

I just commented on all of them

I'll seed it once it's downloaded (might be a while!).
