Did Vertigo Games make the cut?<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nNope! Turns out six other games did instead. You can view the list <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiepubgames.com\/news\/3rd-contest-community-favorite-and-finalists\">right here<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nI knew once I played DUSTFORCE that it would place highly in the competition. The others are fun, charming and solid. A few are questionable, but none are games that I can feel bad losing to. Losing comes very natural to me really, so I&#8217;m able to handle it ok. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nI knew going into the competition that it would be a tough, tough road ahead. indiePub&#8217;s competition was always looking for that unfinished game that just needs a bit of nurturing and a wad of cash to make it really shine with a slick publishing deal. I knew I couldn&#8217;t win with the Oil Blue since it was already finished so it would be Liquisity 2 or bust. I want to thank Sara Gross for giving it her all as we crunched the days to accomplish the very difficult task of having a polished product in just a few weeks. And then having to throw that entire game away based on beta feedback and rebuilding the game just a few days before the deadline. Man, that was intense.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be entering the Oil Blue and Liquisity 2 in a few more competitions later this year, so watch for news on that soon. I&#8217;ll also be revealing a new game next month, finishing Liquisity 2 for release this year, as well as pursuing some opportunities to get the Oil Blue to be published more widespread.
