Oh, that list still misses the one i´d like to see on that list! ;) Guess what, it´s a me, Hardyo! ;) I guess i have to present sth real good in my future finally, so i can atleast hope to see my name on such a list once! ;) *fun! abstract stuff forever! and tunnels!*

Gratz to everyone on the List, we´ ll see who´s really worthy!
May the Meat be with you! :)
Hardy I think you have the ability to receive a Meteorik nomination if you really want it.

no Rock for Metal? Pathetic.

@teo: we considered it for the lowend category, but it was deemed inappropriate for the rules (and with good reason). The other categories I had no say in :)

@visy: would have made more sense, than high-end amiga demos. :)

Yeah, I feel like there just wasn't a good category this time for it. Shame really.

Because a 68060@66MHz has roughly the same calculating power as a modern PC? Right...

yeah well, make 8-bit and 16(32)bit maybe separated? even Atari had a few decent releases this year.
At least X'18 wasn't completely ignored like on 4sceners.

And how exactly would that benefit the Pico-8?

I don't think any platform type specific categories will ever be suitable for virtual plaforms anyway, since they're kind of in a weird space between high-end and low-end.

well i would have put that into 8-bit. i know, apples and virtual oranges.
also given the size can go into 64k, or something.

Pico-8 is really weird and difficult to categorise, because it produces results that seem like they are running on old hardware but the power is actually quite high compared to hardware with similar graphical capabilities like, say, a BBC Micro.

It can only really exist in it's own category. Pico-8 demos can't be compared against modern PC demos because the PC demos aren't graphically restricted, and they can't be compared against old 8-bit hardware because Pico-8 development is much easier. It's a strange combination of flexibility and limitation which hasn't existed before.

I dunno. A standalone executable version exported by PICO-8 is still close to 3 megabytes, including sdl2.dll. And obviously, PICO-8 can't really compete in high-end either.

There are already suitable categories for virtual console releases - soundtrack, visuals, direction and outstanding technical achievement. If you want to extend on that, you can always have a "people actually do stuff on this?" category for virtual platforms and weirder stuff like Z80 based phones :)

+1 on jobe's category idea for next year.

There's absolutely nothing "8-bit" about it though, other than maybe the aesthetics.

I do feel that this is something that probably could be improved upon, as in, making a version of Pico-8 that can produce executables that could be crunched to ~64k :)

And that's where it should've been!
Kudos for all!

@Korvkiosken: thanks for calling us trying to care "meaningless ramble"

@visy: Ok, I see that was a bit harsh. Sorry about that one.
My reaction was triggered by the quick jump from "X should have been nominated for something" to a classic, pouet-style "does category Y need to be subdivided"-discussion.
Caring is good and a nice way of applying that is to get involved and make changes.

Which is what quite a few people in this discussion are doing, and we're glad to have them, just for the record :)

Well, congrats to all the winners (especially yx, keep it up!)
