Last month, the results of
Saturn 29th Game Competition Contest were published ... I'm a bit late to share the good news here but on the other hand it's the perfect moment to do that
So, after more than a decade without participating into a coding contest, I'm happy to announce that
my entry ranked with
the highest score in the "Original Games" category !!!
It's a double surprise for me : first to get a so high score and second to see that the judges of the contest evaluated my masterpiece to its real value
Also, it's cool to see that my friends vbt and privateye received pretty high scores too ! You both made a brilliant performance and I sincerely hope it will be outperformed on next contest
Folks interested in my entry can find it
on SegaXtreme forums and may also be interested in "
VTT" a.k.a. "
VBT Touring Truck" made by vbt as the name suggest. Before playing, please beware that these games may disturb the ones who forgot the good old times when retro games were made with 5 different colors, mentally designed during three months, coded during two days, tested during one night and finished at 3 A.M. just before the deadline
The game description that I wrote before going to bed.
According to
Chinese zodiac, this year is under the
sign of Dragon which is said to bring good luck. So that's the good year to believe in Chinese zodiac and wish everyone (including me !) a good luck for this year !
Additionally, that's the moment or never (well, not "never", but as next occasion will be in 2036, it would be regrettable to miss the current moment) to put some holy dragon images from my collection
← Shenron --- Polunga →
There's also this one which is a bit large; click on the picture to show it in detailed size !
As indicated in the title, this is a poll to decide which display method should be used when displaying game titles in disc image selection menu.
Why such kind of poll ? Because
privateye (in charge of Pseudo Saturn Kai beta testing) and me (in charge of adding bugs in Pseudo Saturn Kai) have different opinions regarding this default display method.
And as Pseudo Saturn Kai is here to please their users, I thought it would be cool to directly ask about that.
As illustrated below, display method can be either "centered" or "left-justified".
Centered display example
Left-justified display example
Both methods have their own pro and cons : "left-justified" is same as other disc image selection menus (and consequently users are more likely to be familiar with it) and "centered" may be felt as a more natural way to display menu items.
Ideally, it would be better to ask this on patreon because the voice of people who financially contributed to this project takes priority.
However, that's unfair for the supporters who left patreon and the ones who directly sent me a donation.
Also, I don't want to force someone to join my patreon page just to answer this poll.
So, feel free to share your opinion in the comments of this blog article ! It's free and doesn't even require any registration; there's a mail address input field but it's optional and just in case you want me to contact you back.
Rules :
- Poll is open until 2023 August 31st
- Don't hesitate to indicate the reason why you voted (or not) for this or that display method
- Don't flood the comments
- If the result of this poll doesn't pleases me, I will set default display method according to my personal preferences 
Extra bonus, limited to the first 5 person who will request that : if you want to be listed in "Display Method Decision Committee" section of Pseudo Saturn Kai credits page, please inform me about the nickname (no real name please) to display there !
