>>728897339>>728897592>>728897785It's time to D-D-D-D-DDDDDDDDDUEL!FAQ:>What is eligible?For most categories, eligibility criteria is any game from the calendar year 2025 that has an English release. There are some special exceptions.1) Nominees for "2005" and "1995" categories must have been released in English in 2005 or 1995, respectively.2) Categories that say "of all time" can have nominations from any year.3) Remasters or re-releases that add or change a significant amount of content are acceptable. Straight ports of games releasing in a previous calendar year are not. Likewise we do not consider cosmetic DLC unless there is an award category for it.4) Nominees for Kamige Award for best eroge can be released in 2025 either in Japanese (with an English translation available, official or fanmade) or in English. However, if such a nominee qualified in a previous year, it will not be considered again.5) For Best/Worst Character, you may nominate individual characters from the game or the entire cast. We may limit characters from a given franchise to the top 2/3, so more games can qualify.>Is this voting/When can I vote?This is only nominations.

I don't know, can you repeat the question?
I played 4 games this year and 2 were indie games that I beat in one sitting.
>>728901285Yeah this shit is just a neverending worsening
>>728901484Life is so much better when you only play games from before 2007.
>>728897818An early version of Hero-kun, inspired by the Warrior sprite of the first Final Fantasy game

>>728897095This thread flopped
>>728905832thanks. is this the /v/ game award so /v/tard will svow trailers of their game they made, right?
>>728905302this is just a free Venus Vacation Prism award
>>728906041why wouldn't you want to kabedon cuties
>>728905901Based!>>728906003Yeah sure
>>728906449cool thanks
>>728906449why doesn't it happen in december??? would be better
>>728905302>Best beach, tropical and vacationIt's all the same thing, you retards.
>>728906625cringekino takes time to bakethey should start using ai for help
>>728897095Just as up to this time, I'm not going to use my fucking google account for this meme. There are options for actually anonymous voting platforms.
>>728906625Our all volunteer team isn't set up to start that early. Our earliest show was our 2014 production, which was still at the end of January and still required massive amounts of crunch. We aren't able to it to an acceptable level of quality you've come to accept from us. You think you want this, but you actually don't.But if you're serious, join us next year so we have more people and can do everything done (nominations/voting/video work) earlier.>>728907267You must be mistaken. Google's never been required to nominate or vote.
>>728907334>>728907041ok thanks
>>728907334>You think you want this, but you actually don't.i say do like the game awards and just ignore December games for the next year
>>728907334>You must be mistaken. Google's never been required to nominate or vote.Ah, so you're not the faggot who does the video game awards thing here where you need a google account to vote on his google forms survey. My apologies, I just checked the site. I have no idea what that one then is but there are like 10 games and they're all called video game awards or something close.Keep up the good work
>>728907608I think we did in fact do a rotating 12-month window like TGA does for a few years, eventually getting to the point it was like Christmas Eve or so when nominees closed. In 2024 we ran nominations up until NYE, so we're running to NYE and including all of 2025 this time around to be sure.>>728907793No worries, they're pretty widespread each year and we're not by any means the only/official one.
>>728906625Any awards shows that cuts off nominations months before the calendar year ends (ex. June 1 of year 1 through May 31 of year 2) is basically extending the ad time for all its eligible nominees into the next year or two, the Grammys are the most blatant I can think of but I'm pretty sure all major awards do this shit.
>>728908208ok I'll wait
>>728908712this and below are some assets from 2023's show
>>728911940
Postan 2023 awards as webms
give gwizofthestars an award for best boobs in the industry
>>728898608who the hell is this australian?
>>728907034This, at least give us one-off awards that are fucking notably different.
>>728914698I looked this whore up and she looks like a temu Veronica Belmont (when she was in her prime, I mean). Get some fucking taste, shit-for-brains.
>>728915628We're incredibly uncreative, so we'd love to hear your suggestions on what new awards we could add to the show this year (or in years to come). >>728915736Damn man, what the hell happened to Rev3
>>728915969>We're incredibly uncreative, so we'd love to hear your suggestions on what new awards we could add to the show this year (or in years to come).One anon said best final stage/area. I don't know if he meant before the last fight/challenge, or within the last fight/challenge, assuming that said last ordeal is in some sort of sub-area or separate dimension. I'm guessing he meant the one right before the last ordeal, since that would have the most climactic impact. Vacation spot has too much fucking overlap with "best beach" and "best tropical themed game" (i.e. the mario sunshine award). Even best water is too excessive. It'd be fine if all FOUR were combined into a single award, but as is, it's overkill. It's like if there was 5 RPG awards in 2023 and it was all just shit like "best rpg gameplay" "best rpg battle system" "best rpg skillsets" etc.>Damn man, what the hell happened to Rev3You don't want to know.
>>728916358>It's like if there was 5 RPG awards in 2023 and it was all just shit like "best rpg gameplay" "best rpg battle system" "best rpg skillsets" etc.That's a good point. I will bring it up at our next meeting.
>>728915969Boss fight of the year feels like an easy one to have. This year especially had some standouts
>>728916812>silksong awardNo thanks, fag. It's already going to win the fucking 20 bux award, which is why I'm not nominating shit for that.
Oh shit, I blew my load too soon. Whoops, dumping 2022's next.
>>>/trash/
>>728897095>Indieslop for normalfags won the last edition>Wokeaphore was in top 5>Stellar Blade barely made it to the listwtf happened in 2024?was it a psyop or is modern /v/ made out of deltarune audience?
>>728922178Thanks for stopping by every year, /trash/ anon.
>>728922964>indieslopCore gameplay loop was pretty much the greatest damn thing since Solitaire. The OST is one fucking song.>wokeaphore was in top 5You mean the Persona-like? On a website known for Japanese culture? Yes, it made it to top 5. It was #5.>Stellar BladeWon best rep of women and most pointless controversy.
I kind of wish there was just a normal best indie game award to mirror with the most pretentious indie game award
>>728924458Best game nobody played, perhaps? Visions of Mana won that one last year. It's not always indie, but more often than not it's shit you haven't heard about.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGBfhwO5eqbY6_-Cxdw2aBv5rZ_YAkRDk
Did people forget Life is Strange: Double Exposure came out this year. It deserves to be mocked.
>>728925471No not at all lmao
>>728898498nice
