Det lyder til at det kører for Jer:) Tillykke med de fine nomineringer og annonceringer!

[vonknut]

Op mod Digital chokolate m.fl. - det er sku rimeligt vildt.
-tillykke og held og lykke.

Hvis i vinder, så er der fandme street-cred til jer!

[henrik_weide]

Thanks gutter!

Jah, nu må vi se. Digital Chocolate er jo røv seje, både art og tech-wise - og så er de finnere. Så mon ikke vi får whoop-ass alligevel

/Henrik - Progressive Media

[vonknut]

Hvis i nu skulle gå hen og vinde, så husk at vogte jer for hvis de trækker knive!

[henrik_weide]

Ååårhh hvad? Jeg går da altid med finmasket ringbrynje inden under t-shirten. Så det er ikke noget problem :lol:

Iøvrigt, ved ikke om du kender Mr. Goodliving (også finnere), de blev opkøbt af RealArcade for et par år siden. De er også pænt seje. Prøvede deres Playman Extreme Running spil, ret godt lavet.
Ok, det er lidt tungt på de lidt langsommere mobiler, men animationssystemet er total cool.

[vonknut]

Kender dem ikke, men kiggede lige på spillet, som ser meget fedt ud.
-hvornår får i svar på konkurrencen?

[henrik_weide]

På Hilton Metropole i Brighton d. 30. juli.

Meeen altså, lad os nu se, det er jo som sagt nogle vilde fætre vi er oppe imod, som trodsalt har mere track-record end vi har.

[vonknut]

Så blev det alligevel Digital Chokolate der løb med sejren.
-men de er jo også mobilspillenes EA (bare med bedre spil) så det er der vel ikke noget at sige til.

[henrik_weide]

EDIT: Whoa! :shock:
Jeg havde vist en hjerneblødning. Resultatet er IKKE annonceret endnu, så hvilken een du referer til von Knut, ved jeg ikke. Men det er ikke den her ihvertfald.

[vonknut]

Jeg faldt lige over en eller anden artikel den anden dag om:
"Digital voted best by the industry"
-eller noget i den dur.

-men det kan da være at det var for en anden pris / tidligere år...


-så festen er ikke lukket endnu

[vonknut]

Nu fandt jeg artiklen, det var en anden kåring:
