Event - Secret Santa 2018 aka the IGMC Review Trade Thread

bgillisp · 2018-12-01T01:58:56+0900

Hello all and welcome to the IGMC 2018 Secret Santa thread! The way this thread works is you post that you wish your game to be reviewed by another forum member, and in return you will review a game as well. To begin, post a link to the game you wish to be reviewed. You can use the thread page here, or your IGMC 2018 entry page on itch.io. Once we have ten submissions, or a week passes (assuming at least two submissions in that week), I will assign you. Once assigned, you will have two - three weeks to finish the review. Post the review on the page the review requester provided. If you get a game you already did, let me know and I can give you a different game in that group. This may result in some game getting played by 2 people in the same round. Once you are done with your review, you can request to go again, and you will be put in the next open group of ten (this way you can proceed at a pace which is comfortable for you). However, I will not assign you again until you tell me you wish to go again. Also, if I find it is always the same ten people going I may ask you to wait one group to be fair to everyone. We will keep this up until Christmas, so post away! And, if you just want to find a random game to play, here is a link to the main contest page with all the entries. https://itch.io/jam/igmc2018/entries

@slimmmeiske2 I've posted you review on your game page.

Not really my kind of game, but it was cute and well-made. I downloaded the older version and didn't have any trouble with bugs.

I finished my review for Monster Village.
I would have done this earlier but work kept me busy.
I would like to enter another round if possible.

I'm ready to review another game
@mobiusclimber please respond to the review I gave, as I got very stuck and was unable to keep going.

@Chez Thanks again! And I really hope you didn't spend too long looking for the rest of the game. XD It barely qualifies as a demo. I should probably warn people...

Now that I have a bit more free time in my hands, I would be interested in joining the IGMC Secret Santa as well. :) My game is the joint-project with @Zelgadis85 i.e. Our Adventure; I assume it's okay for me to participate as long as both Zelgadis and I don't sign for the same round?

@Punamaagi : That's fine, and if somehow you were same round I'd just bump one of you to the next.

Group F has been delayed due to RL obligations, I'll try to get that done later today. I'll tag you once you are assigned so you know.

@mobiusclimber oh ok not a problem!! I just didn't want to give the full review if it wasn't all of the demo!

@bgillisp Just FYI, the person selected to review my game already reviewed it :)

@bgillisp I thought I signed up, but either way, I'd love to be in round G

@Chez : You're in G. We had 10 before we got to you.

@Jesse - PVGames : I thought they reviewed something else? I had @Mrs_Allykat as the one who reviewed it the only round they went? If they reviewed it separately I have no way of knowing that. But if that is the case, @yopeople you can just pick another game on group F and review it.

I reviewed Jesse-PVGames, HiddenOne, and L8rose. Three rounds sir ;)

@Mrs_Allykat : I was talking about when that other person went, you reviewed Jesse's game then so that person should not have reviewed it unless they did it on their own. But I have no way to keep track of that.

And that is one thing to keep in mind with assignments, I can only note what ones you were supposed to review for this. Outside assignments I have no way to keep track of practically. You can try to notify me, but it can get lost in the 6+ pages easily I'm afraid.

@bgillisp I will do a review if some one wants to review mine https://itch.io/jam/igmc2018/rate/326012 Just keep in mind although I do give helpful feedback I am dead honest. So if I give someone a negative review please do not feel bad.

@bgillisp Sorry about that. I'll inform you what games I've reviewed on my own.
If anyone wants to review my game, plz feel free I will review your game too! Maybe I'll do it without you trading reviews lol
@Tuomo L I reviewed your game!
bgillisp

#139 Dec 9, 2018, 04:10 AM Source

@yopeople : Ha! That was the other one I was thinking of asking you to pick, as they have only gotten 1 other review so far. Did you read my mind or something? :)

I want in! Our game is Animus Strife, it is a prototype, but basically you go to the Ice Caves first, then the Haunted Mansion, beat the boss, bam, Demo/Prototype over. I will post an honest critique of what I feel you've done right/wrong.
