#msxdev Compo 2012 closes with 7 entries !
The first edition of the #msxdev Compo, a contest for any MSX generation, has allowed the creation of 5 new games (2 for MSX1, 3 for MSX2) and 2 demos. As this website, in the tradition of the original MSXdev contest, is dedicated to games, we will not present the demos here, but you can read my reviews on MSX blue :
You have probably noticed that one of the announced games is missing : Kingfisher, the Infinite product for the exotic GFX9000 videochip, but we can hope that it will be finished for the 2013 edition of the contest.
Now it’s time to play the games and to run the demos on your preferred machine or emulator. What concerns the appreciation of these 7 entries, it will happen in 2 phases :
- first, all participants will judge eachothers entries and the judges comments and opinions will be displayed on the official website
- the second phase is for 29, 30 and 31 january 2013 : people able and willing to join #msxdev can vote on these days by way of listing their preferred games and/or demos (between 3 and 7); it’s recommended to read first the judges comments and opinions before voting.

Lots of inaccuracies in your post.
First of all, it’s REALLY DISRESPECTFUL that you ignore the non-game categories in #msxdev Compo. The other categories are just as important as the games.
Second, voters can choose how many entries they have in their preferred top list. So top 3, top 4, top 5, top 6 or top 7.
Frankly, if you don’t want to report on the FULL #msxdev Compo, I would personally prefer that you do not report on #msxdev Compo AT ALL.

The demos are not ignored, I mention their existence and in the coming days, they will be on my main site, MSX blue, with even a video ! I guess game coders should be jealous and your excessive reaction could be a reason to completely forget the TNI demo, but it will not be the case because giving positive feedback to the MSX community is more important for me.
You do not care about the MSX developers, you just care about FREE GAMEZ.
Threatening to ignore BiFi’s demo, just because *I* give my *personal* opinion is crazy.
Also, hyperbole != positive feedback.
Here’s some feedback for you: You’re a fucking lunatic.

the difference between msx2 dev context and msxdevXX is only one: the former started dead, the latter will dead slowly despite the efforts of msx1 fans to keep it alive. It’s not a secret. Just take a look and compare last years in terms of quality / n. of games / n. of unfinished ones. That’s life.
