[Bubble Islands] Finalist at the Flash Festival, Paris

Hello everybody,

I'm proud to announce that Bubble Islands is finalist at the Flash Festival, Paris !

After being finalist at the Game Developer Conference '07 / Independant Games Festival, here we go again ! ^_^
(Fortunately this time, I'll not have to travel during around 24 hours to get there, ha~ha~ha)

NOTE: if anyone is reading the "Edge" magazine and has a scanner, would you be kind enough to find BIslands there, scan it and post/send it (kdsh7 ?). I would love to see that :p

Thanks a lot !

Congrats mate :). Hope you win, you deserve it.

As for edge, it’s just a little version of that screenshot you posted ^^ with "dot-invasion, Switzerland" written under it (I don’t think its covered in any more detail than that), pretty cool to get in there though :).

Really? What a coincidence then, haha ! ^_^

Thanks for your nice words ! And yes, maybe this time I'll come back home with a trophy or something (if so I'll post a screenshot here)

Awesome news. I'll drink to your success tonight! It's good to see the hard work paying off. Did you put that downpayment on that Rolls Royce yet?

What's the cover of the Edge magazine with the game in it? I recently bought the one with Metal Gear Solid on it but I think it's a bit old since it's imported.

Alright Marmotte, very well deserved. Hope you win man.

Allthough the other finalist Miss meteo is a pretty cool game, and allthough I'm a big fan of Globz minigames, I don't see how they could compare your game with Miss meteo. Anyway for bubble islands: "merci, votre vote a bien été enregisté!"
Have a nice time there and congrats!

good luck :)

I don't know, sexy Squize told me about an "Edge" magazine having BI somewhere, so I was just curious and asked for a scan... It should be the one from May? (I don't think we have that magazine around here since it's from UK, but for some reason their logo look familiar to me... maybe it's imported...)

I'll drink to your success tonight!
Sounds good; I don't want to be responsible if something weird happens though (when you wake up in the streets and say "but... where are my clothes?", you know...) :)

I hope so too... Of course if the game was a little bit more original, that statement would be even more true :) But being finalist is still totally great.

I still have to play those games, but I'm sure they are great

merci, votre vote a bien été enregisté!
Yesss, donc merci ^_^

Hey congrats marmotte. Hope it wins :) How you been anyway. Haven't heard from you in a while. Whats been happening.

coool, good luck

this game rocks, like everybody else; hope it wins :thumbsup:

I love the game, I hope you win :)

Damn, if one of my games got into Edge my brain would explode with joy just like a zombie hit by a headshot.

No, it’s not that one, it’s the May one like marmotte said, it’s got a close-up of a LED keyboard on the front.

Maybe you saw their website? They had an article about my site on there when I was 13. :)

A little bit of self promotion, ey?? :D

@Marmotte:So have all of these well deserved nominations finally quenched your appetite for glory, or are you still hungry for more?

Nonono, don't get me wrong. Self-promotion would be like if I mentioned my blog, http://birchlabs.livejournal.com, in an otherwise contentless post.

:mrpimp:

Thanks for your messages and your congratulations everyone!

Hey d00d! Well, trying to port BIslands on several consoles / handhelds right now... Talking with publishers (not the easiest task in the world), and trying to get some deals.
