Hate it or love it (just as the grumpy Dr. Pill), but the MSXdev'09 is now totally over. Months of hard work have now came to an end with the announce of the big winner: Infinite's evil doctor's game Dr. Pill, that not only wins the contest, but obtains the MSX1+ contest biggest score. Full results are available through the status section

Taking a look to all games entering this edition, we can be satisfied with the number and quality of this year's productions: no matter the rank or the points your game has scored, you are just an MSX hero by bringing us fresh new software... so, everybody keep up the good work!

It is time of joy for another nice MSXdev edition, but it is time too to say goodbye to Jon Cortazar from the MSXDEV Team. As he previously anticipted, his MSX time has been drastically reduced and he wants to focus all his free MSX time to develop games under his new brand RELEVO Videogames. So now it will be up to Benoît Delvaux and Sjoerd Lammertsma to keep the fire of the MSXdev contests burning: stay tuned for the upcoming MSXdev2010 information!

Well, it seems today we have some NEWS! Woa, apart from projects and game upgrades, we also have a couple of moves on the prize's side! hap has decided to support the contest by adding the first 20 euros to the count of the main prize. Every donation, no matter its size, is really appreciated, so if you feel the MSXdev contests are nice for you and you can contribute, please donate!

Apart from that addition to the main prize, he wanted to set a sponsorized prize, and here it is: Best MSX1+ game!. You may wonder what's the 1+ remark: obviously it stands for those games having add-ons that goes further from the limitations of the contest. Those ones do not get scores when judging the games for the main prize, so this sponsorized prize comes to give those wanting to make a game with some add-ons a nice reward. The prize for the Best MSX1+ game is 10 euros, already sent to the organization, but if someone feels hap's initiative fit his needs he can of course make this sum bigger by donating cash!

This has just started! Games, proyects, new prizes! Don't be shy, if you are a MSX developer, just join the MSXdev'09 now!

The only change this time into the contest is a smaller time frame to make and send the entries (about 7 months).

So let's MSXdev'09 asap not to be caught by the deadline! In the other hand, there is another thing to announce, as this year will be the last one for Jon Cortázar into the organization of the contest.
