Demosthenes as Curator

I've been chosen to be the next Scratch curator and here is the official thread for my curations.

I will be curator from June 7th to June 21st, two weeks!

Each two days I'll pick a new theme of projects and each day I'll pick three projects for that theme.


Projects:

The first theme, for lack of a better name, will be Polished Games! It will include all those refined, fun, addicting games we all love to play so much.

Tuesday 8th - Theme = Polished Games
Sky Maze v0.78 by Shruikan42
    Chosen for- This is one of the greatest Scratch projects I've ever seen. It's interesting and unique game-play is captivating and addicting. The graphics are some of the greatest I've seen in a Scratch project, and the instructions make it easy for any user to play.
New Country by Maanasukas
    Chosen for- I chose this because it has the most intriguing and elaborate game-play I've ever seen. It is an example of dedication and hard-work judging by it's massive script count. The project is also has an attention to detail that is unmatched. I quickly found myself wasting hours playing this game, it's as great as some real computer games.
Blackbeard's Dream by B-Reyn428
    Chosen for- Fun, quick, unique, action-packed, this game has everything I love! The fun action packed "boss" style battle is a very fun genre of game and this is an example of a well-designed, enjoyable game.

Wednesday 9th - Theme = Polished Games
???
    Chosen for-
???
    Chosen for-
???
    Chosen for-

I'm open to suggestions, so please, post here if you have a project that fits the next theme: RPG/Adventure games!
Just remember, I don't want projects that have been frontpaged or have received lots or attention.



P.S. I realize I'm jumping the gun here and posting this a little early, but better too early than too late  smile  Especially when I have finals to study for, so I can't guarantee I'll be on later.

Re: Demosthenes as Curator

I thought this was going to be a thread about an election campaign for curator. I was like, "Wait, they elect curators?".  tongue

Re: Demosthenes as Curator

Maybe this one as an adventure game, but maybe it's gotten too much attention.

Edit: I don't know if this would count as polished, but I doubt it.

Re: Demosthenes as Curator

I've always wondered, is the phonetic pronounciation of your name (demos-the-ness) or (deemos-teens)?

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

I can't tell based on your guides, but I think neither.

It's dem-awst-thee-nees or something like that (I'm not to good with pronunciation guides  tongue )
