If not, I'll probably have to upload it to Curse. I'm only refraining from doing so because it's not completed enough to be released yet IMO.
EDIT: No, it doesn't work. Waiting for approval on Curse now.
It works if you copy-paste it, but not if you click it. Apparently this forum is REALLY hostile to dropbox links because I cannot get it to work, even by formatting it manually. This forum is SO crap for formatting.
You can try running your URL through bit.ly or goo.gl, which should work.
Edit: Remove the brackets from your file name. I think they're what's messing the forum up. Have it just be called "Kuvio v1" or something.

its a bucket fill in-depth commentary on modern consumerism's over-exploitation of positive human emotion via minimalistic figures seated in a retro-aesthetic.
It's "jum bo dee es six tee for", NOT "jum bods six tee for" or "jum bo dee es six for". What the heck is a jumbod, anyway?
I've tried to get everything fixed to the best of my abilities. The site is not cooperating, so things may still not be right.
OK, well, just so that you're aware of it; in the eveny that I don't win this I'm going to perpetually blame my not-the-best-simple-pack-maker-evar! status on the dubious assertion that not having functioning link somehow harmed my pack's reputation to the point where it clearly did not receive the acknowledgement it oh so clearly deserved; if for no other reason than it makes me feel better to blame someone besides myself for said inferior-to-someone-else-at-making-simple-packs status.
Right now, it seems that 50 people have voted... as if I change my vote to my own pack, which has no votes, it says 2%. 100 / 2 = 50. This means that Quadral has 19 out of 50 votes! Wow... Also interesting is that when I calculated when I had first voted (yesterday), there were about 48 votes. Only 2 people voted between today and yesterday, that being about 12 hours...

Sure, it may not have a very low color count per block, but I think you're being a little too strict with the definition of what a simple pack is.
This is the question that's kind of hung over this entire contest, isn't it? "What REALLY constitutes a 'simple pack?"
Quadral uses a lot of complex shading, which in my mind makes in pixel art. There are several blocks that use primarily flat colors, wood planks for example, but then you look at dirt or grass or logs and there's single-pixel details shading all over the place. In my mind, a defining attribute of simple packs is large single-color fields... and Quadral lacks those on a majority of its blocks.
Then again, who am I to talk? If we're being honest I think Fall of Autumn probably barely qualifies. If the same amount of details per meter were done in a 16x pack I don't think it would make the cut. I'm getting by partially due to the the higher resolution.
Ultimately, though, it's not up to us. It's up to Peyton and he chose to allow it, so that's that.
If this was a golf contest, I would be crushing all of you!

Quadral is absolutely a simple pack. Though there may be a few spots that are a bi rough, it is still a simple pack by design, and qualifies.
Then that's that.
@Ignaf: While it may be a bit premature, I'll just congratulate you now on your victory now. I have no qualms with taking second place to such a great pack. Heck, I wouldn't mind losing to almost any other pack in this contest to be honest. All of them were so good, but yours is clearly the best. Bravo sir. Bravo.

But I have ZERO votes! Take that!
EDIT: I was replying to Unctu0usly... what is with the reply system???
I'm pretty sure the 'reply' button just tells them that someone replied to their post. You're probably wanting the 'quote' button.
I really wonder where I would've ended up on here had I finished my entry...

Retired StaffYAY! It works!
Now we just need Peyton to fix both of our links and everything will be good to go.
Hope we haven't lost too many votes due to the lack of a proper download.

Your corrected submission may have gone unnoticed, because you edited a preexisting post, instead of making a new one.

Retired StaffOK, well, just so that you're aware of it; in the eveny that I don't win this I'm going to perpetually blame my not-the-best-simple-pack-maker-evar! status on the dubious assertion that not having functioning link somehow harmed my pack's reputation to the point where it clearly did not receive the acknowledgement it oh so clearly deserved; if for no other reason than it makes me feel better to blame someone besides myself for said inferior-to-someone-else-at-making-simple-packs status.
So... you know... be prepared for that.
I have to disagree.
