    Names have been wrangled, and after only a slight delay I present to you your 2009 Two Games One Name Contestants!

    Atlantis 2037 to be written by Tony Dowler & Josh Roby. Constraint: Can be played while traveling vs. requires very specific components to play.

    Congratulations to the 11 finalist names, and to our contestants. I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with!

    Thanks everyone!

    Oh, superb.

    What's the submission format, Nathan? I'm asking because, if I'm writing a game called A Hatful Of Rabbits, I might draw cartoons.

    Submission format is anything that you can get to me. I prefer PDF, and I would like it to be small enough to email to me through gmail (so 10Mb or less), but if it HAS to be bigger than that we can work it out.

    If for some reason there was a physical component to the game and you wanted to mail it to me, that would be fine (though in that case emailing me pictures or sketches or something is ok, I'm not asking anyone to spend money on postage).

    Yes, good luck to everyone. I'm blogging my progress. I suppose you could have a look here if you're interested.

    I'm blogging my game here.

    I'd be interested to see what others are making, as well.

    I put up a first post for City of Refuge on my poor neglected blog. I'm still trying to decide on which concept to write, but I'm leaning towards the second. Opinions are welcome and appreciated.

    Jeebus, those constraints are tough. I'm really looking forward to see what comes out of this.
