And a bigger share!<br /><br />ADOM is kicking ass too, but way to go Dark God. Your game continues to evolve and it looks like it's going to continue just edge out the competition. Last year Dredmore, this year ADOM.<br /><br />It may seem that a poll is a bit stale if one game wins for 3 years in a row, but I don't think so. It's been a tight contest for the 2 years I've been following, more people vote every year, and a deserving game wins too.<br /><br />Also the top 20 or so is also very very interesting. You can see which ASCII games are still popular, the best of various sub genres (hybrids, 7DRL, 'coffee break', etc...). I especially like to see who still remembers the 7DRL entries and votes for them. <br /><br />You know you have a sweet game if people are voting for you game jam game nearly 9 mos later. <br /><br />Thanks again Andrew and Merry X-Mas!!!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866329313708655247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-71042987556030744482012-12-24T23:34:03.614+11:002012-12-24T23:34:03.614+11:00Thanks for the kind words earlier, Sambojin.

The voting thing is to the right-hand side, maybe you could drag it over if you're on a touch-screen thingo? Or you're in some word-wrap or single-column view thing that doesn't line up you could turn those off? Who knows? Opera Mobile seems to deal with it easily, even with a horrible clipboard (my beef with opera). If my POS phone can do it, your's probably can to. The voting thing is to the right, just scroll there.<br /><br />Anyway...........<br /><br />ProspectorRL. I can't believe I forgot it. How many people have finished this game? I always get to the point of having an amazing crew, an alien ship, more guns and armour than I can count, dammit, I can kill everything. Including swarms of robots and all that.<br /><br />Then I can't be bothered to get the few things I need, shoot one of the things with my ship that I have to shoot, then I do it all again a few months later because I can't remember wtf I'm up to on my savegame.<br /><br />Prospector RL: showing that BASIC still makes awesome roguelikes. Yes, you can help program this. I hope the developer chucks a quick update at it for the new year. It's written in basic. It's awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217725314182326087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-17395285785728342672012-12-22T21:30:51.229+11:002012-12-22T21:30:51.229+11:00Why can't I vote from a mobile device?Why can't I vote from a mobile device?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827715575346557257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-3250101916276620432012-12-22T17:24:37.089+11:002012-12-22T17:24:37.089+11:00It's good this year we have full range of comm...It's good this year we have full range of commercial roguelikes to vote for...shouldn't be problematic like the last year's extremely stupid controversy regarding Dungeons of Dredmor and it being a commercial title...onyhowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065017723413105671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-70723526797711499662012-12-22T06:33:02.699+11:002012-12-22T06:33:02.699+11:00ToME on the lead.

Since all modern devices can render html perfectly, the day and age of "mobile versions" of websites has come and gone. Just serve up the full site for everyone!
