2020 AIF Mini-Comp Games

The games for the 2020 AIF Mini-Comp are now available to play and vote on. We had a good turnout of games this year with five microcomp entries.

  • The View to Her Apartment by stochastic (HTML)
  • Going Down by Louys Bilitis (HTML)
  • Amy's Predatory Boyfriend by Lost Trout (HTML)
  • The General's Daughter by accofake (HTML)
  • Amnesia by Eulexia (HTML)

The games can be downloaded from the following link:

They are also available for download from here. All the games are HTML Twine games. Double-clicking each file will open the game in a web browser where you can play them.

Please rate the games at this voting site:

Voting will run until the end of September 7. The previous voting system worked well despite its minimalism, so I thought I would go even more minimalist this time. This year, your only choice is to give a game either one or two stars in each category. The meaning of the stars is up to you. You can give all the games two stars except when a game needs a lot of work in an area. You can give all games one star except for those you find one particularly exceptional in some area. You can give two stars to the games you like and one star to the games you don't like. Assign the stars as you see fit.

Feel free to discuss the games openly during the voting period.

If any of the authors want to release an update to their games, please just send them to me, though not everyone will necessarily get the updated versions.

Thank you to the authors for making these games for everyone to enjoy! 

Addendum

  • These games are NOT playable in Internet Explorer. Please use a modern browser to play these games
  • The game Going Down begins with a blank screen with only the words "Monday". Click on the Monday to proceed
  • Update 8/21/2020: Amnesia and the General's Daughter were updated with bugfixes

2020 Minicomp Deadline Approaching

This is just a reminder that the minicomp deadline is fast approaching. I know that you're all excited about it. There's no way to hold back that deadline. It's coming, and it's going to be great.

Game entries can be e-mailed to me at losttrout at gmail around August 16th or 17th. I can also be reached on the AIF discord.
