Every entry from 1999 through 2013 now displays the same detailed vote statistics found on last year’s competition results page. Now you can see the average score each game received, a bar chart summarizing all the votes cast for it, and other information behind each year’s final rankings.
I don’t possess detailed vote data for the competition’s first four years (nor did the previous website display any), so I don’t currently plan to bring this feature to IFComp years prior to 1999.
I’ve added an entry for On the Other Side by Antonio Márquez Marín to the 2000 results page. I discovered its absence while working on the historical vote statistics. The unintentional oversight stemmed from the fact that the game’s IFDB entry uses its original Spanish title, Al Otro Lado, rather than the English title it used in that year’s competition; as a result, the scripts I used in 2014 to help build the new website overlooked it completely. I apologize for the error.
Superstar IF archivist David Welbourn recently made sure that every entry from IFComp 2014 had a corresponding page on the IF Wiki. Here’s the wiki’s page about last year, which includes a comprehensive list of links to reviews.
Friends of the IFComp may wish to look at David’s Patreon, where he accepts crowdfunded donations to support his ongoing work creating and publishing detailed walkthroughs of interactive fiction games both old and new.
I fixed a bug that caused all results pages to only display authors’ pseudonyms, even in cases where the authors chose to have their real names revealed post-comp. Several games have therefore seemed overly coy about their authorship since January; my apologies for that as well.
