RoboCicero: Oct 22, 2009; "I'm sick and tired of reading these posts!"

Yup, I'm working on something too, though I'm not sure if I'll make it under the deadline.

You should also talk to a mod about sticky-ing this! No reason Christmas's Greatest Contest should be buried like this.

For the record I thought this had started on Dec 10 when it was first posted in the game dev threads, and a ludum dare just started on ~dec 10 so that's probably the reason for the quiet front regarding the game competition

To be honest, we had totally forgotten the Game Maker thread when posting the first announcement. It was only when I posted the reminder, we remembered it. My bad :blush:

And I didn't even know a Ludum Dare collided with this. If an entry to that fits this competition, by all means submit it here too.

Well, we're halfway through the contest, and we've had I think 2 entries. Thank you for those!
We've been debating cancelling it altogether due to the lack of interest, but we're not sure that's the best option.
We will scale back the prizes though. For each competition, unless there are 5 or more entries, we'll only have one prize.

As for the crossword I was going to post this weekend, I'll save that for another day. Put too much effort in for potentially no interest.

I'm also not going to post reminders of this thread in the main Steam or Gifting/Contests threads, as apparently it pisses some people off.

We'll run this to the end, to be fair to anyone that was going to enter.

Thanks for the entries so far! Hopefully we'll have some more before next Sunday.

Sorry if I sound butthurt, but when putting up ~$300 in prizes with 2 entries halfway through, it's a little disheartening.

What's tripped you up is you went with three big contests instead of lots of daily ones with a short time limit. People are gonna take more time with their entries because of it, so they're gonna be a lot more sparse in the leadup to the deadline.

Like every year I'm adding my little birthday contest

Task: just mash together gaming and christmas in any way or form. It can be food, picture, song, game, costume, writing whatever you want. Just put 2 things together in like 5 minutes, whatever.

Prize: the entry I'll like the most or laugh the most at will get a game(s) on Steam worth up to $20.

Deadline: You have time until monday night.

Good luck and have fun!

Not many people know this, but Santa is actually real. He's just been stuck on this level for a few hundred years:

I plan to get on it, but not until tomorrow. I mean, I don't think that will turn everything around but I'm just telling you there is more interest than it may appear.

I was going to post reminders, but like I said, some rear end in a top hat complained in the Steam thread about it, so I got discouraged.
Glad to see there are still a bunch of possible entries coming, and thanks for that gang.

VVV Agreed! vvv

Compared to all the dumb poo poo that is posted in the Steam thread as of late, a reminder about a fun contest is a breath of fresh air. Thankfully Zombie is doing a fun review series again so the quality is going up.

Safely ignoring complaining in the steam thread is a good idea.

I totally agree, the puzzlescript thing is really easy to use. My little game took an hour or two and I have never made a game before.
If you have a glimmer of an idea, you can make a game.

Four entries so far and I enjoyed all of them. There's still like one day left in my competition so if anybody else wants to take a shot at winning $20 in games - go for it.

2015 Steamgoon Holiday Contest
sponsored by Depends, because nowadays all games are either piss-poor, or outright shitty.

This year we�re running 3 main contests simultaneously from now to Monday, Dec 21st.
Enter any of the main contests, comment on other people's entries, or send gifts or prizes to entries you enjoy. This is supposed to be a celebration, so let's have some fun!

The not-planned runner-up prize goes to Ragequit because his entry is both clever and funny.

2. Create a new Steam Achievement:
I remember waaaaaay back when the Steam winter sale had a bunch of special holiday achievements. Nowadays they would probably have to add special emotes and trading cards for each game, too. Actually, that would be pretty cool, so let's do that. Pick a game on Steam and come up with a set of at least three holiday achievements, emotes, or trading cards for it. If you're feeling ambitious, you can do all three!

Well, I already entered one contest, might as well enter them all!

For my second entry, I did some achievements and cards for my PREVIOUS entry in the contest, A Very Bloodborne Christmas! Coming Soon(never) To Steam!
