ISR 2.0's Entry Window Is Closing, Ever So Slowly.
It's past noon on September 15th, and that means that Indie Speed Run 2013's entry window is officially closer to closing than it is to ... uh ... opening.

Basically, you have two weeks left.

If you haven't participated yet, get to it. And if you have participated already, then stop being lazy and participate a second (or third) time. Did you know there is an insane game developer out there working on his fourth entry? That's right, you're not as productive as an insane person. So, crunch on that for awhile, slacker.

Regardless of whether or not you've already Run or are planning on Running soon, we've noticed a few things of which, we believe, it's worth reminding you:

1. You can submit more than one game with the same team, by yourself, or with a new team.

2. Once you're done, as stated in the rules, we ask that you do not publicly share your game before we send it off to the judge panels. Private hosting that you share with family and friends is cool, public hosting on sites such as Kongregate and Newgrounds is not ... at least until early October when Free Play begins. Please be careful--we don't want to see anyone disqualified. If you have a question about putting it up in a specific place, just ask.

3. All games needs the ISR slide. (More details on this in the rules.) If you finished your game and forgot this, please contact us at [email protected] so we can remedy it, and make sure you qualify for judging.

4. Red Pandas are adorable.

5. Because people are asking, the prizes this year are:

     Grand: $3,000 + Unity Pro License (as chosen by Yahtzee from the judge-appointed finalists.)
     People's Choice: $1000 (as chosen by views and ratings during Free Play.)
     The Burchatta: $500 (as chosen by the ISR founders based on their arbitrary opinions.)

As always, show us things we've never seen before, keep creating, and keep it smooth.

Good luck in the final lap!
