Aw~ thanks! Yeah I knew this one would be a little sparse especially since I literally put it together sitting in the hotel after a really awesome event (if you haven't checked out GaymerX and its events you definitely should). But I wanted to make it a monthly thing to hopefully help grow a really awesome community on here around it. I even set the bar low for this first one with 5 entries.
You're welcome for sure. :) Yep, I know of GaymerX!
Actually I do have a (hopefully) constructive criticism.
I feel like having prizes is tacky. Having winners and losers of actual goods doesn't fit well with encouraging people to make personal things or with friendly community-building for marginalized folk.
Plus, the prizes are too small for hours and hours of work. Sometimes big prizes can be tempting but that's a greedy feeling so I don't know if that would even be positive either. As it is maybe it's even kinda patronizing, like doing a favour for someone and then they throw you a quarter as thanks. :p
Thanks for the feedback! I know the prizes are small but I wanted to do a little something for people taking time out to participate even though I know it's not a lot. I think moving forward I might only do prizes once a season so I can make sure they are good enough to be worth it as I still really like the idea of making sure you awesome game creators get a little something
