Well, the results are in...Fahrfall is a RetroChallenge Winter Warmup winner for 2012! That officially makes Fahrfall an "award-winning" game! :-)
I know, I know -- many of you will compare this to winning an argument on the Internet... ;-) But, I am really excited about this little honor. The other RetroChallenge competitors had some cool projects, and it would have been perfectly reasonable to pick a different winner. I really appreciate this little bit of recognition...I am proud of Fahrfall!!

I know that you must be dying to get a Fahrfall t-shirt!! Still unable to shake the Fahrfall bug, I took a little time to actually setup a CafePress storefront. There are several options to accommodate a modest range of tastes and budgets. Feel free to deck-out yourself in some Fahrfall gear, then come to CoCoFEST! or Maker Faire: NC and say "hello"!
I hope to get back to some Fahrfall development soon. It might not be this weekend -- I need to dig out of the hole I made over the past month while focusing on Fahrfall. But, I'll be back soon with some more updates -- stay tuned!
I think it was a well deserved win. I would have voted you for the top prize myself - making a great looking game from scratch in one month is no small achievement, and you can be justly proud.
ReplyDeleteI would have picked myself for second spot though ;)
I agree!!! ... Now I will have an excuse to setup my coco 2 system next to my coco 3 setup. You also better believe I will be wearing a Fahrfall t-shirt while enjoying the game.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work John and also the nice blog. Such a good read! I honestly look forward to your next write up.

Hey, thanks! If Fahrfall keeps a few more CoCo systems on people's desks (or at least out of the landfills) then it will definitely have been a big win!
