YYG Competition 04 - Game Maker
Yoyo Games has officially announced their fourth competition, on their glogThis competitions theme is a 'green' theme, in which the game should be based on saving the world (from pollution, global warming, etc). I think it's a great theme that isn't too restricting, but does need some creative thinking on order to make a good game design.
Anyways, I know I posted about this already, but my brother and I are going to be entering a game (that is already in development). This should be one of my personal best games, so I'm all excited.
Are you going to enter?

YYG rating system - Game Maker
The last little while, there has been an ongoing discussion about the Yoyo Games Rating system.Currently, the Yoyo Games rating system works, but isn't all that great. It often doesn't show the actual quality of the game. YYG plans on changing the system, and this topic is talking about different ways of doing so.
I personally haven't posted or suggested much, but I have read through quite a lot of the topic, and I honestly must say, some of the suggestions are hilarious - not that I am trying to offend anyone.
The only idea that I have seen so far that I think would actually work successfully, is KC LC's idea. She basically said that the source of the problem is not the rating system itself, but more of the site design. She then continued to say that "The solution is to give more games a chance at visibility -- i.e., more first pages. One way to do this is to have separate pages for different genres. Each game would be categorized in ONE particular genre (sorry, cross-genre games... you must pick ONE). There could be 10 -12 different genres." (Read Post)
I think this could work quite well, although I still think the rating system does need a bit fixing up anyways - although it sounds like YYG plan to do this soon anyway.
Anyways, what are your opinions on the matter, if you have any?
