Help Needed: Swedish Game Awards '09

Postby jorb » Tue Jun 09, 2009 12:47 am

As you may or may not know, Haven & Hearth is participating in this year's edition of the Swedish Game Awards. Most of you probably found your way here after seeing our gameplay trailer. What you may not know is that the only reason we made that trailer, and thus the only reason you found your way here, was that it was a competition requirement that we make one. The coverage we have gotten on sites such as http://www.tigsource.com and http://www.indiegames.com is also exclusively an effect of us being in the SGA '09 competition. It'd be nice to win something.

H&H is already nominated for an award in the "Best Java Game" category (A category obviously bought... *hrrm* ... "sponsored", by Sun Microsystems). While this is nice and all -- Loftar is a huge fan of Java -- we do have bigger fish to fry: "The Gamer's Choice Award", as elected by the denizens of that certain series of tubes know as the internets (© Al Gore). That is right, folks, we need your vote. For the Hearth, for the Glory, for the fun of it.

All you need to do is to head on over to our competition entry...

... and vote for us. You cast your vote by clicking a little text box in the right hand menu (second from the top, I believe). (Please note that the "hype stars" are something else, but feel free to up those as well! ;) )

Both the "Best Java Game" award and the "Gamer's Choice" award carry with them whopping prize sums of 5.000 SEK respectively (About 700$), so with maximum luck and effort, we could possibly line our pockets and swiss slush funds with the awe-inspiring sum of 1400$.

So, if our game has given you even two seconds of fun, here's your chance to repay us by taking two seconds to vote for us. We'll keep you posted on how it all went.

May the best game be chosen!

I admit that I laughed when I saw the system message, but this is serious business here.
You'll be getting my vote, anything to keep this game going.

I think you need to be registered on the SGA site. Doesn't really matter, though. :)
