Game of the Year 2012: Please Vote

[Ellie]

We didn't hold our annual .ORGy awards in 2012, so, in order to make the Game of the Year award in previous and subsequent awards actually mean something, in this poll as a community we're gonna vote for the HBGames Game of the Year 2012.

This time around I have edited the poll system to allow more options. There were 33 games posted in the period May 2011 - June 2012. Two have been removed from the site so are not counted, so this poll will have 31 options (this includes GREEN which was added to the poll after being missed last time).

Please vote if you can; if you don't want to vote then you might still want to check out the games as there are some pretty special ones this time around.

Each user may choose up to three games. You can change your vote(s) at any time up until June 1st.


Game of the Year 2008
Master of the Wind

Game of the Year 2009
Quintessence

Game of the Year 2010
Vacant Sky

Game of the Year 2011
Finding Eden


When the poll is over, the winner will be announced in June's HBGames.org eZine - as well as announcing the start of a small pixel art contest if anybody's interested!

Quick bump.

I sort of feel like I should note that theory's name actually starts with a lowercase t. Don't bother fixing it in the poll, I know that resets it. (Just like you shouldn't bother fixing the fact that it's actually GREEN, not Green)

Do these GOTY thingies only include games made with RPG Maker?

 

[Ellie]

Fuck, I'm sorry mate, I've left off the games that went to the arcade instead of completed games. Since they were so late in the period (towards the end really) they can go in the real orgy awards when we hold them, will be more special then; or I can add them to the poll now, I don't think it will break anything but obviously people who've already voted would have to change their votes to pick yours.

Would you rather be added to this poll, or the big 2013 orgies when we do them?

 

[Ellie]

I have updated the poll. I am really, really sorry.

And it's wiped the 3 votes we'd had.

 

[Jason]

Nah, I wasn't bothered about being in it or not, I was just curious since all of the games I clicked on, not to vote, but to check out (Not heard of some of them), were all RPG Maker games, lol. Put me in the poll or the orgies or whatever, I don't mind :thumb:

 

[Ellie]

It was supposed to be all games in the completed games forum, but your game wasn't in the completed games forum, but split between Projects in Development and the arcade, because of the contest. I guess the contest games had their chance to shine in the contest itself, but it doesn't seem right to leave them out. Ah well, it's done now.

Just calm down you're trying to do too much IMO.

 

[coyotecraft]

I don't remember any of these games except for the contest entries. They must never had been in the development part of the forums. Then again 2012 was kind of a bad year for HBgames. The site was down like every 3rd week, and at one point it was down for a whole month.

Oh man I completely forgot I did that Ludum Dare game, I actually got an award for graphical style, I was #70-#80 in the top 100 for graphical style, if I remember correctly.
Which is a shame considering the gameboy graphics were done because I am no artist.
