We now reward game creators with drawings for free games every six months.
Every game submitted to the site (that isnt an update to a game already on the site) will get you a point. For every point you get, your name goes on a piece of paper. Every six months, these pieces of paper will be put in a box, and I will pick one randomly. The person whose name I draw gets a new game of their choice. Then I will remove all pieces of paper with the winner's name on them from the box, mix the papers up, and pull another name. This person will also get a game of their choice.
Every six months, two people who submitted games to the pavilion are going to win stuff. If by chance you manage to submit more than one game in a six month window, your odds go up. Contest games will also get you points. And there is guaranteed to be a contest in each of these windows. The only things that won't get you points? Garbage games and demos. They don't take long to make, and someone could easily churn out dozens of them in a 6 month window and ensure their chances at winning.
Drawings will be held on-camera. First drawing will be held June 30.
In order to participate, you will either need to be comfortable giving me your address to send the game to you. Failing that, you can still take part if you have Steam installed on your PC, or have a Wii, both of which have gift options for downloadable titles.
