‘2020 XYZZY Awards’ Has 408 Pieces of Interactive Fiction in Need of Votes

‘2020 XYZZY Awards’ Has 408 Pieces of Interactive Fiction in Need of Votes

Another September has come around, and with it, the annual XYZZY Awards, meaning… it’s time to once more celebrate all things interactive fiction! All things. Everything. From ‘best story’ to ‘best NPC’, and even ‘best use of innovation’. Much awesomeness this year, across a staggering 408 pieces/stories. Goodness, that’s a lot, and I would not have it any other way!

Nothing has changed in terms of categories, which is good because they’re groovy enough as is! Each of the thirteen makes perfect sense for the media too, and some are undeniably more prestigious than the rest. Even so, I’d be absolutely thrilled to even end up nominated in just one of them, as that would mean someone thinks the piece of interactive fiction I created was ‘best’… something. Not that I have actually finished one, but still – do not underestimate the importance of something like this, as recognition – especially in a long-running awards series such as this – is incredibly important, and not just for the content creators either.

Now, seeing how 408 is a lot to get through, even for those who claim not to have need of this thing called sleep, simply play as many as you can muster, vote, and that’ll do. But before you get to do any of that fun stuff, there are a few things to take care of: you’ll need to either create an account or login if you already have one, after which, well, did I mention the voting?

Keep in mind that this first round of voting will end on September 21st. Simple enough, right? Best of luck to all participants; newcomers and veterans alike. May your stamina branching narrative never fail.

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
