First up. I will not be doing another PotM later this month for obvious reasons. If anybody is willing to take my place then feel free to step up.
Rules:- Projects to vote for will still be pre-selected as usual. Your project will be pre-selected if it has shown some form of
relevant progress during the current month. Think along the lines of a new demo, screenshot, video etc.
- Normally selection only applies to the projects in the topics: Sponsored, Completed, WIP, WIP other and Concepts. We now expand the range to also include projects from
Templates, Graphics and Audio. The projects also need to have shown some form of relevant progress. There are added rules for them though: they will need to contain more then just one sound/picture or template (whichever applies). It may not be a request topic. Basicly the aim is to only nominate continued projects.
- You now have the option to vote in the
poll. (If one is not yet present when you read this, then one will be added shortly). Posting a comment explaining why you voted for one project over another is no longer needed, but it is still highly encouraged. I will obviously do creator's good to read some friendly feedback, but it will also make the difference in case of a tie. If there is a tie and no relevant comments are present then I'll have to favor one over the other personally and I'd rather avoid that.
- Every project to get votes in a month will have
earned a place in the Sponsored section for the month that follows. If a project does not get any votes during month then it will not be in Sponsored in the following month. This also happens if the project was not nominated due to lack of progress. The project with the most votes is crowned Project of the Month. The creator will receive a message from me in regard to a short interview and the creation of a PotM topic.
- You all gets the option to
vote for multiple projects a month (if they so please). As each voted project moves to Sponsored you could use your votes for moving various interested topics as a sign of support. Or you could vote for just that one topic you really favour for PotM. And if you're always torn up between multiple topic then this is the sollution for that too. Just vote for both. Just remember that each vote hold equal weight. If for you vote for more projects, but really only favor one in particular for PotM then you can always add a comment and explain. It'll make a difference in the case of a tie or it could convice others to vote for your favourite as well.
- Attempts at faul play (like having lots of outsiders come here just to vote for your game) will result in your project getting disqualified. Do it more then once and you are risking a ban.
- Voters must have made a minimal of 10 (meaningfull) posts for there vote(s) to be considered valid.
This month's nominations (you have 5 days to cast your vote):* I did not go through the concept/graphics/music sections yet because I don't have the time right now. Missing your game?
