Needless to say, I'm anxiously awaiting the contest results. Most people seem to have really enjoyed the Veggie-Matic game, so I like my chances. Also it seems it got FrontPage'd, which was pretty sweet. A few people bicthed about it, but that always happens at Newgrounds. Frankly, I was expecting a lot more abuse and a lot less constructive criticism. I guess I must have done something right, after all. :)
Now all I can do is wait and see if the judges agree with the masses. It's tricky, because I don't know how strongly they will weigh Fun VS Moral Fiber. The contest rules said "Games that feature one or more of these morals will be graded more fairly," with the predictable result that every single game submitted to the contest stressed as many of those values as the author could think to squeeze in.
But then none of the games were any fun, and BoMToons posted saying he thought the morals thing got over-emphasized, so I guess we'll see.
I hope the kids like it. :)
