Ladies and gentlemen, voting for the Procedural Generation Competition has begun! You can check out and download all the entries here.

There were 60 entries to this competition, which is by far the most we’ve ever had. Really, really incredible turn-out – I’m still making my way through all the games, which are about as varied as you can imagine. There’s obviously a lot you can do with this theme, and you guys didn’t disappoint!

So yeah, vote, vote! Start voting! Congratulations to all the competitors!

The Adventures of Charles Dumbbell is an awesome game. Loved everything about it. For the win ^^

So far I’ve really enjoyed Dyson and MMO Tycoon. I’ve only played about 10 games, though.

Me no entry. Me fail.
But seriously, looks like every new tiger assault reaches new, previously undiscovered levels of awesome.

I disliked almost every game, and a handful didn’t even function for me at all.

Self Destruct and Mujakwi are the only two that actually show any lasting appeal for me. Space Shot was entertaining for a bit, just because of the insults. I’m not an ass appeaser, damn you space shot!
Darby’s Run is adorable and the music is DOUBLE AWESOME but the actual gameplay feels too NES. Whoops, I just fell four feet. And DIED. DIED DIIIIIIED.

Many of these I would classify as “toys” rather than games. That feed the birds game and that cave exploration game come to mind.

Dyson was easily my favourite. I liked the idea behind MMO Tycoon as well.

I agree with what Spanky said about pretty much all of the entries being more toys than games, I don’t really have a problem with that though,

I was also impressed by the number of them

Spanky:

What is you definition of a “toy” that others might consider a game, game-play example, demo game, or etc?

I once was one who too easily applied the term of “toy” to games that didn’t fit fully enough into my past perspective of gaming (even when I began searching beyond mainstream gaming).

My perspective about gaming has expanded in the past year+, and I’m curios about what definitions and/or limitations you are using when you classify many of the entries as “toys”.

I have tried to play all of them, some didnt work but out of the ones that did work i liked “everyone loves active 2” the most. Even tho i have always hated asteroid this game was made in such a way that i actually enjoyed it for the first time. Especially the artwork created by the way you moved and how your cursor moved was really cool.

A runner up for me would be “test pilot”. This game just rulez. The fact that there are so many planes possible just makes it fun.
