Submissions Closed!

Submission have officially closed, and wow! Another great turnout this year! There are 24 brand new games for the NES thanks to all of you. Congratulations to everyone who managed to submit something; you are one of a handful of people with the skill to make an NES game in 2023.

If you were not able to complete your project this year, the competition runs every year, and there is no limit on how much time you spend on your project, so think about starting today!

Judging Begins Today!

With the submission deadline closed, the judging can now begin, and lasts 2 weeks, until December 4th, 2023. 

All submissions can be found here:

Submissions to NESDev Compo '23 - itch.io

Please keep a few things in mind:

  • Only people who submitted entries may vote.
  • Try to play and vote on every game if possible (as is the tradition for nesdev compo).
  • If given a choice, please judge the downloadable ROM from itch. Uploads are locked to keep things fair, but there is nothing stopping someone from updating an embedded emulator, or offsite downloads
  • Don't rush, take your time, and leave feedback/compliments for the devs. Although this is a competition, it's also a celebration of our community, and what each other have created.

With the competition being on itch, we don't have a good way to enforce a lot of these rules, so honor system is in effect.

Congrats, everyone! This has been a great year, amazing entries all around!!

The streams have been one of the highlights for me, but I pretty much missed all of them. I'm a little late now, but would be cool to see a stream announcement thread next year.
