Dear creators, allow me to present to you the Golden Blobs 2019.
The Golden Blobs is a friendly contest where the best submitted games of each category will be chosen. The purpose is to show appreciation to the amateur and indie games on itch.io, and if possible give visibility to hidden gems.
Games submitted through jams often shine, but long-term projects are often far less succesful, and I hope we get to see lots of them.
The Awards:
- Emotion
- Gameplay
- Story
- Innovation
- Visuals
- Audio
- And because it is hard to categorize some amazing creations, the 'most something' 1, 2, and 3
Who can participate?
- Anyone who submit a game right here in the thread
- It is encouraged to submit your own game, but select only one
- This time around it will be restricted to SFW
- The game must be on itch.io
- For now it will be limited to browser and windows games (and why not txt, pdf and the like)
Games will be picked as they are submitted, and list will be enriched here. There is no ranking except the games being ultimately attributed a title. Preferences are subjective, your game not being the best in a category does not mean it is not great.
Why should we do this?
I used to make games but can't dedicate years anymore on projects. I have always been lucky with feedback, so it is a way to show appreciation to other creators out there and be part of the community.
There is nothing to gain except have at least one more person play your game, and perhaps use this occasion yourself to try out some. Depending on how it goes, I hope to include more people in the event and expand some aspects.
