Brazen Prototype Steam Grid image:
I enjoyed this prototype a lot. Looking forward to seeing what it becomes.

haha, yes! I was surprised by how much I liked it.
It's weird/neat to see a monster animate like a stop motion movie prop on purpose, usually janky movement is a minus, here it looks cool (and very deliberate).
Good shit, Muir.
I thought Brazen was an old prototype from a previous Fortnight, not something they were planning to build on.
I've been putting off doing this - not out of any dislike, just because I wanted some clear time in the weekend to look at the pitches properly. Nothing's grabbed me so far but I've not yet got to the pitches some have gone nuts about.
Edit: I worked on The Simpsons Game, and Flopulous feels like what I expected the Homerball segments of that to be like from the original design doc

About a day left on this.
Is it possible to link this to my existing Humble Bundle account? I don't see the option. It doesn't seem to be showing my previous votes, either.

I've been waiting for someone to remake either that game or TheClue. It's been almost twenty years since the last decent heist sim, people!
Yes, it's possible - "Claim this page".

Just double-checked... odd, I must have already had it claimed, but I didn't see it at first. Thanks anyway, though.
Edit: It's showing my votes now too, and I didn't logout/in or anything. *shrug*
With just a bit longer to go until the end of voting.
Just following in places 5 and 6 respectively we have, Black Lake and KAIJU PILEDRIVER.
Top 4 said:
Hack n' Slash
Spacebase DF-9
The White Birch
Autonomous

I'm not fussed about the games in 3rd, 4th or 5th place really, but the top two seem ok. I think it was fairly obvious these would win for a while now, the voting didn't seem to switch up the order much once those pulled away at the start. Will be interesting to give those prototypes a go anyway!
NO!!!!! TELL ME HOW TO COMMIT VOTER FRAUD, OBAMA!
Seriously, that sucks. Doublefine fans have no taste. White Birch's 'Ico' mention is pandering to the point of insult... though I voted for it too. Hack & Slash seems dumb though.
I loved the fact they mentioned Rival Schools. Also that warehouse scene was funny.
I feel like the multiplayer games got the short end of the stick. I think it would be nice if another one was made for multiplayer games.
Here are the games I voted for. The fact that I only voted a few hours ago changed my votes a bit (and made them useless).
The White Birch: Could be interesting, especially from DF.
KAIJU PILEDRIVER: Just because it seems more fun than some of the top 4 games and kinda had a chance.
Milgrim: The idea seems great and multiple gaffer mentioned wanting something like this before. Unfortunately the pitch seemed pretty bad, the visuals/demo made it seem like a simple Mario themed tower defense.
Cloud Prix: I like clouds I guess. Could be a fun unconventional racer.
Shine Run: Sounded like Crazy Taxi.
Zumbi Chained: Interesting concept which will probably lead to hilarious and frustrating coop experience.
There are other stuff that I (and others) would probably buy as a game, but it's not very original that I would vote for it as a pitch.
. . and sad, very sad.

Space Base is the only interesting thing from the Top 4 games.
One is a Zelda clone, the other is another artsy platformer, and Autonomous is just a concept video with a bunch of buzzwords. I want to play as ducks. Come on Internet.

Voted three out of those 4 and only because it was obvious Hack 'n Slash didn't need any votes, so I'm glad for it.
Honestly, those 4 were the ones with the most impactful pitches and none of them need a pdf for extra clarification. I'm sad Kaiju, Bragging & Fighting, Battle Bros or Blake Lake didn't make it but really excited to check how the chosen prototypes develop.

White Birch is the most interesting one in the lot for me. Glad it got in.
Hack N'Slash is an incredibly clever name (and concept.)

Cool we're going to get the critique part of the pitches too. Can't wait for similarly dream-crushing remarks like Chris Remo saying to multiple-character adventure game VETERAN Tim Schafer that Reds was too "top-heavy"...!
I love ya Chris, but that comment in the documentary kind of made my blood boil!

Im okay with the results... 3 games i wanted to see. Now i hope Kaiju Piledriver will make it next year.

Lee Petty mentioned that mystery was a big part of Autonomous...seconds before admitting that that was mainly because he hadn't written the game yet...and that he stole that excuse from Tim!
