Some time ago I stumbled over this word and thought it would be an interesting Wordle solution.

Quote from: Kastchey on Wed 08/11/2023 13:33:28So here's a very minimalist version, built upon LimpingFish's suggestions:
Best Game Design: Puzzles, game mechanics, GUI design, game flow, overall enjoyment.
Best Visual Design: Backgrounds, GUI graphics, animations, sprites.
Best Sound Design: Music, sound effects, voice acting, how it all plays together overall.
Best Original Story and Writing: Story building, world design, character design, dialogues, writing quality.
Best Non-Adventure Game: (unchanged - it still feels distinctive enough to keep).
Best AGS Game of the Year: (unchanged - the alternative might be splitting into Freeware and Commercial like LF did).
Thoughts? I do realize this looks like a rather radical change, but more generic categories are also easier to interpret and understand (Best Gameplay and Best Puzzles, I'm looking at you two!).
Quote from: Snarky on Wed 08/11/2023 15:36:21I take it that means you don't think you're the person to create the content/host a ceremony livestream in a more typical Twitch/YouTube format? So should we rule out this alternative?I cannot do a Twitch/YouTube livestream ceremony. I have no experience with that. Maybe I could do the Discord call thing, I never did this but it sounds more feasible.
If so, does it also rule out the "Discord call with a PowerPoint presentation" option, or is that easier to prep/host?
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 07/11/2023 11:45:42These two quotes just gave me an idea to help streamline the nomination process.I would not go this route. This would only encourage authors to suggest their games in all categories and exclude those who might just be on vacation during nomination period who cannot post in the FyC thread.
What if the dropdown box for nominations, only includes the games that were posted in the "For Your Consideration" thread, and only for the categories that the person has listed in their post.
Then the organizers can fill out the list by adding any additional games that weren't posted in the thread, but that they personally believe should have the opportunity to be nominated.
It's not a perfect solution, but it might help get more nominations by streamlining the whole thing.
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Tue 07/11/2023 17:22:18Do we have some statistics about number of people that nominate vs. people that vote vs. people that attend the ceremony.
Year | Nominators | Voters |
2022 | 36 | 45 |
2021 | 42 | 52 |
2020 | 39 | 48 |
2019 | 47 | 45 |
2018 | 35 | 48 |
2017 | 49 | 68 |
2016 | 46 | 53 |
2015 | 47 | 58 |
2014 | 56 | 87 |
2013 | 70 | 92 |
2012 | 79 | 112 |
Quote from: Stupot on Mon 06/11/2023 15:46:24Earlier ceremonyOk, noted. Ceremony earlier.
I do think having the ceremony earlier would help keep people interested. Last year it was right at the end of May, and I think that is rather late.
One idea is to set the date in stone earlier on so that we all know when to look forward to it and have more of a build up.

Quote from: Stupot on Mon 06/11/2023 15:46:24Separate MAGGIESGood thinking. I love MAGGIES being presented during the ceremony, but I think they also suffer by the fact that they are revealed so late in the year. MAGGIES don't have a nomination phase, just voting (actually, nomination kinda happens year round). They could be finished much earlier.
Traditionally, the MAGGIES winner is announced as part of the AGS Awards ceremony. But one option would be to have this announcement a little earlier. It could help by giving people something exciting to whet their appetites in the build-up to the main awards. And the MAGGIES winner could still be announced during the main ceremony, even if the winner has already been declared a month or so prior.
Quote from: Stupot on Mon 06/11/2023 15:46:24More forgivenessI think this especially applies to nominations. Some people don't nominate because they have only played few games, but nomination isn't a "this is better than the others" thing. It's more like "this game has great graphics!", and it doesn't matter if others, that I haven't played might have great graphics as well.
I think there is sometimes a pressure to have played every game in a category before voting in it. I can't be the only one who has decided against voting in a category because I wasn't able to play all the games in it. While this should definitely be encouraged, I think we should be more forgiving in this regard.
QuoteFor MAGGIES in the last couple of years I have tried to include links to video play through for anyone too busy to download and play all the games. I'm trying to get this sorted even earlier for next year, so that every entry will have a video to watch. Maybe something similar could be done with all the AGS Award nominees.Another great idea!
Quote from: Snarky on Mon 31/07/2023 22:12:15This might be a good opportunity to mention that I recently read (well, listened to, in the dulcet voice of the author) Montgomery Bonbon: Murder at the Museum.Thanks for the recommendation, it was a fun read and I loved the illustrations (it's a pity novels for adults don't have such nice illustrations). @Ali did you choose the illustrator or was she decided on by the publisher? In any case, good choice.
