Voting is open for 'Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the Year 2008'.
How did the roguelikes qualify?
The list was taken from the roguelike releases announced on the Rogue Basin news section between January 1st and December 17th 2008 and from the list of Actively Developing Roguelikes maintained by Jeff Lait. There are a record 75 entries this year.
What about 'x'?
Make sure you announced your roguelike on Rogue Basin for next year. In particular, NetHack didn't make it in, again.
What about the 7 day roguelikes?
I decided to exclude any 7 day roguelikes that weren't announced separately.
What's the prize?
Pride. And a sexy logo. You can see the winning 2007 logo on the Dwarf Fortress links page. Logo designs for this year are welcome.
Having a competition is a dumb idea/offensive/stupid when you can't police the results.
Yep. Doesn't stop it being fun. You can vote for multiple different roguelikes. The idea here is that you will be encouraged to go out and download a roguelike that other people consider interesting, not that there is any kind of real competition element involved.
