** Update 31/10/08 - The last of the copies has been handed out - well done to the 10 below! **
As I have mentioned before on this blog, during the day I work for Introversion and on Friday the 19th of September we finally released Multiwinia. Now, it’s tradition when working in games that you get a copy of the game you worked on and depending on the size of the team you usually get more than one copy to give away to familly/friends. I got 10 copies of Multiwinia to give away which is great except for one thing:
Billy-no-mates me 
So, I have decided to give away all 10 copies to random people and all you have to do to get one of those 10 copies is:
1, Download the demo copy of Multiwinia, either from here or the Multiwinia website: www.multiwinia.co.uk
2, Play the demo and take a screenshot of the game over screen showing you winning the game. Change the gamer tag to show your name and you have to have won the game to qualify.
3, Send the screenshot of you winning the game to dev@xiotexstudios.com. Make sure you put ‘The great Multiwinia give-away’ as the subject of the email otherwise I might miss it from all the spam this will generate.
I will then choose 10 people from all of the emails over the coming weeks to get a copy of the game. I will be showing the screenshots of the winners here so make them good ones!
That’s it - nothing more. No scam. Just play the demo, send me a screenshot of you winning the game and you are in the pool of people to win one of the 10 copies of the game. Once you are selected I will email you with the unlock code that turns the demo into the full game. I also restricting one copy per person.
Just to be clear - the game is a set of mini battles. You only have to show me a screenshot of you winning one of those battles not the entire game
Update:
Just to prove this is real I decided to give a copy of the game away to the first person to send in a screenshot and that was Paul Marshall (well done!) and this is his screenshot:
Further update:
Seven given out three to go. I will be handing these out over the next week to conclude this!
The second winner is Bruno A Pires (Nice screenshot!):
The next person to get a free copy is Alex Rea:
The fourth winner is Samuel:
Edward Kirby is the next:
And next is ‘Industry Fuckwit’ (nice name!)
And next is Dominic:
And next is Rikki Prince:
And next is blademasterbobo:
And the last is Ole Pedersen (Errod):

How do I take a screenshot? I got a great victory, hit the “prt sc” button on my keyboard, but all I got was a black image when I pasted it into Paint.
Is there a keyboard shortcut within Multiwinia? Cheers!

Ok, had to alt-tab out of the game to get Windows to put the contents of the buffer in the screenshot. Sorry!

In other news, you can press P to take a screenshot, and it saves it somewhere on your hard drive…

I made a screenshot where should i sent it to?
September 26th, 2008 at 9:42 am
dev@xiotexstudios.com with ‘The great Multiwinia give-away’ in the subject

Any tips on what you’re looking for in a winning screenshot?
September 26th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
It’s not the screenshot that determines a winner - its the random number that does. So If I have 50 people in the pot then I choose a number between 1 and 50 and that person is the winner. I asked for good screenshots because I am showing the screenshot the winner provided.

Should we make a new one if the old looks ugly?
September 29th, 2008 at 3:52 am
[...] Then Byron will choose the winners and post them his blog, where you can also find more information about the give-away in the official page. [...]

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification. I didn’t realise you were picking out of the pot. How often are you picking? Does each person only get one ticket in the hat?
Cheers!

Great give-away you’re doing here!
But what’s more important: great game! I just played the demo and am totally amazed. Great instant action and the game controlling is just lovely intuitive. Some ‘bigger’ titles could take a leaf out of your book.

Rikki: Each person gets one entry in the pot. I will be picking another person tomorrow and then another one soon after that. Keep watching this space!

[...] Phreaky and I would like to thank Michael at TheSixthAxis and Byron at Introversion for an interesting and informative chat. You can check out Introversion’s latest creation - Multiwinia - and try to win a copy of the game for yourself over at his website. [...]

Yeah, I need to clarify something in the blog post from the LittleBigPlanet roundtable - Alex Evans worked in the R&D dept of Lionhead and I worked on the Console verison of ‘The Movies’ so my extent of working along side with Alex was in my dealings to do with code for those projects and meetings - not literally along side on a day to day basis.
They guy has got a brain the size of a planet though - one of the most intelligent people I have ever met.

Is the give away still active its been some time since the last winner got picked out.
October 16th, 2008 at 1:33 am
A winner got picked out on earlier this week. I will be doing another one on Monday next week. I was going to do them all close together but every day I get new entries so it is only fair that I space them out since it’s random selection.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
I just picked out another winner today (Monday) and I will be picking another one on Wednesday!
