The Bad News: We have to push back the announcement of the winner of the InstantAction Game Developer Contest. An exact date for the announcement has not been set, but we're working diligently to choose the winner and runner-ups.
The Good News: The finalists are all worthy competitors for the Grand Prize so we want to make sure we put enough time and thought into each game that has made it this far. That we need more time to make this decision is a testament to how good each finalists' game is. And I thought narrowing the submissions down to 5 was hard...
One prize that can be awarded to all the finalists right away is the InstantAction Cup-o-Noodle t-shirt. Those should be shipped out before the end of the week. Who wouldn't want to clad their torsos in such opulent finery?
If you haven't seen our InstantAction shirts yet, check them out here: www.garagegames.com/blogs/80057/14246
The Finalists:
Switching Gears/Survival
Trash: Wasted Earth
Day of War
CannonBattle
Grudgematch
The developers of these games provided some great links to more info about their submissions, which can be found in the comment section of the Finalist Announcement blog: http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=14327

Will you guys always be open for accepting new games from developers?

@The-Godfather. Of course we'll be open for accepting new games from developers. You just need to go through the right channels. I believe the email is IAsubmissions AT garagegames DOT com.
@Ktmboy323. The games are already available to play if you are in the beta. If not, you'll be notified via email when you can start playing on the beta.
