Voting is now open for the 2009 Erin Awards.  Voting will be done using an online ballot on the Erin Awards website.  Although there are between three and five nominees for each category, to speed the voting up even more it is only necessary for you to list out your top three choices for each one.  Simply use the drop down menus under each category to indicate you first, second, and third choice for each.

I would really like to see this be the biggest turnout for voting yet.  It will only take a few minutes so don't put it off.  Click the link below and let your voice be heard.

Well, it looks like our Christmas Micro-comp was less than a rousing success.  The only people to submit games were A. Bomire and myself.  Since it doesn't make a lot of sense to go though the whole voting thing with only two games we've decided to skip that part, but you can still download the games here.  Just consider it a Christmas present from us to the community.  We hope you like them. 

The file is titled "2009 Christmas games" and can be downloaded here, as well as on the AIFArchive, and aifgames.com in the file sections.
