World of the Season Autumn 2012 Winners!
We are exceptionally pleased to announce the winners of the first World of the Season competition. There was a splendidly high standard to the entries, and our judges had quite a task in picking the winning worlds. The first and second placed worlds were particularly close.
The winners are:
- In first place: Samsara, a beautifully written story of dreaming, set in 18th Century Bengal.
- In second place: Zero Summer, a grim, dusty post-apocalyptic Western set in Texas.
- In third place: Evolve, charting the evolution of a species from the very beginning.
Congratulations to all our winners, and to the other entrants, who have built marvellous worlds to play through. And many thanks to our erudite judges: Susan Arendt, Jonas Kyratzes and Mike Laidlaw for their assistance and enthusiasm.
We'd also like to mention Maelstrom and The Hour, as two particularly fine worlds that didn't quite make the top three.
You'll be seeing more of the winning worlds from now on, as Failbetter will be helping to promote them. So. congratulations again to our winners! Prizes and feedback from the judges will be winging their way out shortly.

How exciting! And how wonderful to be in such good company.
As a special treat for Zero Summer players, we've released an access code for new and existing players. It's redeemable for a special, one-of-a-kind in-game treat. We're sure you'll enjoy it.
But act fast: it won't stick around forever. And we'd hate for you to miss such a fun little goodie!
