PixelProspector Art Contest Has Ended
The PixelProspector Art Contest has now officially ended…
…and now you can check out the 50+ drawings in the gallery!
I gotta say that the submitted art is really awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to create such fantastic stuff and sending it over. It made me smile more than once :)
Moreover also big thanks again to all the developers who sponsored their games for the contest.

Update: Most people have read the rules and that’s cool and I appreciate that :) However some people obviously don’t read the rules so I just put them in this box in the hope that I don’t get swamped anymore with really poor submissions (explained at #2 below) by people who want something for nothing…
Rules:
- #1 – The art must be drawn by yourself
- #2 – The art needs to show at least some effort (you don’t need to be a professional artist but expecting to get a game by sending something that was put together in a few secs (stick figure or the PP Logo just slightly modified with a pixelate filter etc.) is disrespectful to the developers and to the contest. Which means no game in that case.)
- #3 – The art needs to be related to PixelProspector (which means it has to include the mascot).
What kind of art you are asking? Well that’s completely up to you…
for example the PixelProspector mascot could be hanging out in the arcades, or mining for gold, or exploring a dungeon… steampunk, cyberpunk, stoneage, game mockup?
Anything goes!!

Big List of Top Video Game Websites
I have just updated the Big List of Top Video Game Websites. All ~130 sites offer now some basic info (Country, Platforms, Coverage, About). Furthermore I have also created a spreadsheet that you can download here.

100 Indie Game Picks for IGF 2013
Well…I’ve browsed through the 800+ Entrants (~580 Main Entrants and ~300 Student Entrants) and picked 80 100 games. All those games can be found on 100 Indie Game Picks for IGF 2013 (with links to: homepage, igf entry page and trailer)
The shown games are either picked because I have tested them personally (for example: Awesomenauts, Syder Arcade, Gas Guzzlers, Iconoclasts, Super House of Dead Ninjas…) or because they look promising.
