MFGG Awards 2018

Another year is in the books. And we all know what that means - it's time to nominate another batch of awesome games and awesome members for this year's MFGG Awards!

As usual, MFGG Awards consists of two phases - the Nomination Phase and the Voting Phase. In the Nomination Phase, you nominate a member (for the individual categories) or a game (for the games categories). The five people/games with the most nominations per category will move on to the final voting, which begins in about two weeks. After the final voting ends, the staff will tally the winners and announce them in another topic. The winners receive a groovy MFGG Awards 2018 badge!

Here's how the nomination phase works:
1. Copy this list of categories:
[+]Spoiler
Individual:
BEST SPRITER
Who consistently makes outstanding sprites?

BEST ARTIST
Who makes the most impressive artwork?

BEST COMPOSER
Who makes you feel all kinds of emotion through music?

BEST PROGRAMMER
Who writes amazing code and helps other people out of programming tight spots?

BEST REVIEWER
Who writes helpful reviews and is always giving constructive feedback to make your games even better?

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES
This person's good at just about everything.

BEST NEWCOMER
Which new member has contributed the most to the MFGG community?

BEST RETURNING MEMBER
I'm so glad they came back!

Games:
BEST GAME OVERALL
There can be only one.

BEST NON-MARIO GAME
We might be Mario Fan Games Galaxy, but we have cool indie projects and non-Mario fangames too!

BEST ROM HACK
What's your favorite hack/mod in 2018?

BEST DEMO
I can't wait until I get to play the final version of this game!

BEST MINIGAME
Maybe it's not a full game, but it's still awesome.

BEST LEVEL DESIGN
Because nothing is worse than an impassable chasm.

BEST GRAPHICS
I love those SMB2-styled walruses you used in this game!

BEST STORY
I was so involved!

MOST OVERLOOKED
For that diamond in the rough that people haven't seemed to find yet.

MOST ANTICIPATED
We just can't/couldn't wait for it.

MOST ORIGINAL CONCEPT
Whoa, this is new and exciting!

FUNNIEST GAME
What game had the wittiest dialogue and the goofiest gameplay?

And a few more things just for fun!
FAVORITE SMASH CHARACTER
Your Smashing experience just wouldn't be the same without them!

FAVORITE FORUM SKIN
Which theme is the most beautiful of them all?

BEST MEMBERBAR COLOR
Which user rank is blessed with the best color?

FAVORITE MFGG AWARDS CATEGORY
It's finally time for an MFGG Award to win an MFGG Award!
2. Enter ONE name per category. Please remove the description for the awards category, and remember that you're not allowed to nominate yourself or a game you made yourself.

3. Send your nominations per PM to MFGG Awards.

Nominations end on Tuesday, January 15 at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time. Then we'll tally up the results and begin the Voting Phase.

A few other things to keep in mind:
  • If you're not sure about a category, it's OK to leave it blank, but please try to fill out as many categories as possible.
  • We reserve the right to omit a category in the final voting if only a few people submit a nomination for that category.
  • MFGG Awards 2018 covers anything posted on the MFGG forums, mainsite, Discord, and Wiki during the calendar year of 2018. If someone worked on it in 2018, it's eligible.
  • If you need ideas for the game categories, take a look at games that won Game of the Month awards or Minigame Competitions in 2018, as well as submissions that consistently earned positive reviews on the mainsite. For the individual categories, I recommend exploring the MFGG forums to find examples of high-quality work that you might've missed.

If you're unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask!

Although I might fit a one or two of those categories, I rarely post my art/music here so people probably won't vote for me lol
It's Aqua!
...and Fire and Spring and Summer and Autumn and Winter and Rainbow and Zack
I have a lot of Yoshi characters ok?

I'm surprised there is no "Best Post" because I definitely have one in mind.

Yes, MFGG Awards is here! Other Big Brin It seems that a few common categories aren't being used in this MFGG Awards, though, such as Best Concept, Best Setting, Most Replay Value, Best Secrets, Best Bosses, Most Positive Contributor, and Most Helpful. I can understand why some aren't being used, though (Best Concept, Most Original Gameplay, and perhaps even Best Setting can be merged into one category, and 2018 didn't have much for fangame bosses).

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

@Q-Nova I'm glad that you're here to notice everything! @Yoshin and I talked about streamlining the awards list, which had gotten pretty long. A lot of the categories were either redundant (Most Original Gameplay and Best Concept were merged into one) or often didn't get a lot of nominations in the past (like Best Secrets). We agreed that having a shorter list would be more user-friendly.

And yes, it'll be interesting to see how this goes - MFGG Awards is always a lot of fun.
Course clear! You got a card.

@"Jingle JC" Many years ago, MFGG Awards had a "Funniest Member" category. We can't change the categories list after the nominations phase has started, but we can always talk about new categories for next year.

Thinking
List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:
[+]Spoiler
Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.
+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:
[+]Spoiler
Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

What I get from this is that the categories we can vote on are set in stone after the voting process has begun, but if a category doesn't receive enough votes by the end, staff reserves the right to remove the category.
The power of teamwork will eventually pull us through

As I only just joined, it would be unfair for me to vote on these right now but when results do come, I will help update the wiki. Smile
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says "You just got to let it go"
