The Coder King is indeed one of my biggest inspirations for the Unique-A-Thon. So it’s no surprise that there’s some similarities. Although I did do some things like fan voting, an interactive website, and conferences to separate the Unique-A-Thon from other unofficial game jams.
@Taser, any similarities are simply because if I had to choose the most trusted unofficial tourney on the forums to take notes from, it would be yours. And I don’t expect the Unique-A-Thon to ever be nearly as well hosted as the Coder King. Thank you for the inspiration Taser.
Btw, Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone
