Nice picture and good selection. Last year has been a great year in releases.

Ps: i've found six GOGbears. I am not going to destroy the surprise to the others users, that's funny, sure. Great job Alexim, there are very well integrated in the images.

Congrats with the Oscars of gog, that was funny;-)

Thanks OP #Alexim for your quality work organizing the event! Congratulations to the winners!

Alexim: Best Raunchy Game 2023:
You have Treasure of Nadia twice in the list of games with a single vote,and now that I check I see that it did get two, so it should be tied with LoF and SMS.

Otherwise, thank you for the work you put in this. Really deserves more attention and votes. (Not that I voted, but have nothing to say about newer releases, and it didn't seem right to just vote for the threads.

And thanks to both of you, there may still be some GOGbear that hasn't been found. ;)

Oops,you're right, I have no idea how I missed it while counting the votes, but I'll correct the ranking later, it's only fair that it should be listed as an equal among the winners.

Found 8 GOGbears. Some of them are well disguised :D

Thanks for the poll! It's always fun and can bring some good games to our attention :)

Edit: I just found the 9th GOGbear!

Thank you, Alexim, for organizing this fun poll! And I like your infographic too. :D

I only found 5 GOGbears. I needed to zoom into your image at 500% but that made everything very pixelated on my monitor and even with that, I could only see five. But there is one instance of GOGbear that made me spit my tea across my keyboard. Had me in stitches! xD

I found it harder to search when it was that zoomed in, too much scrolling and too little fitting on the screen at once. Found 9 in a single pass at 200%. Note that some are hiding pretty well, can just see bits, and one is rather different.

You should have found all of them, there were 10 counting the GOGbear announcer... however, I updated the Best Raunchy Game winners and some other GOGbear may have snuck in taking advantage of the confusion. XD

Ahah I can imagine which one was, LOL
Try clicking on the image to enlarge it and then right-click and "open in new tab" to see it at its native resolution, they should all be visible without having to enlarge too much.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you all again!

Thanks for the tip! :) This allowed me to view a higher resolution version of your infographic than the one I was previously looking at and now I am proud to say I spotted 10 instances of GOGbear this time around! :P

My problem was that I was looking at a lower resolution image, possibly the preview thumbnail. Nonetheless, I studied the higher resolution version by following your recommended 200% zoom and I ended up spotting more! Thanks for your help.

Twelve!! Wow, my max is 8. Almost one in each game.
Posted February 01, 2024
Hmm, I have 11 on this new version. And if there were ten on the first and I had 9, wonder if it's the same one that I keep missing.
Posted February 01, 2024
Nice job with the awards! And I finally found all 12 GOGbears... some of them are hidden very well indeed; one in particular is far from obvious. But others are... well, quite predictable, shall we say...
All in all, it was great fun... this thread really deserved more recognition. Thank you!
