Over at the intfiction forums, they've announced that voting is open for the first round of this year's XYZZY awards: http://www.intfiction.org/forum/viewtop ... =23&t=7546

All games released in 2012 are eligible, and you'll see all Quest games from 2012 (that didn't end up in the Sandpit category) in the nominations list.

There is also a category for "Best Technological Development" where you can nominate something - maybe the Quest Web Editor for example? I personally can't think of anything more, er, technologically developed that was released in 2012, but then I am also massively biased. But if you agree, maybe you could put that?

You know, I hate to ask, but it's unlikely anybody running the awards will do outreach over here in this forum. The XYZZYs tend to be dominated by people from the intfiction forums, which I often think of not as the "Interactive Fiction forums" but more realistically the "Inform and TADS forums" - so it's up to you guys to stick up for Quest and the games that have been made with it. So go and vote! http://xyzzyawards.org/

I was thinking of First Times, but which category?

I had no idea that many IF games got published every year...
