Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

I only see one review. How come?

[Jamos]

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

Really? Because I see a decent number of reviews.

[Hedrum]

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

I checked the contest results on the main page. That's why.

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

Talk about a photo finish! Some games landed only a point or two apart... looks like 3 was actually decided by the Fun Factor tiebreaker! BIG ups to the winners--congratulations! You'll have this forever. And congrats to all nine game creators for creating work they could be proud enough of to submit for judgement.

Thanks for organizing this, Valk... and of course, thanks to the judges for playing the games, writing up the reviews, and gracing us with insightful criticism.

Valk, my game was the worst in the contest! YAY. *holds award up*

If RPG Maker 2 allowed quicker game creation, I could've put out something better... like musical DBS

If I am not mistaken, both Duder and the Mage and A Series Aside received a final score of 33. So why does it say Duder is the winner, and they are not tied?

Fun Factor determines the winner.

I'd split the trophy with you, Perv, ... if only I could find it.

Great job on the reviews, Obright. I was laughing outloud reading mine. And I'm glad you enjoyed the fields and the battles. And the dwarf! lol. You did know that Gash, the proud warrior from the dwarf tribe, was from the opening cutscene thing of rpgm3. It always played when I would turn the game on and then make something to eat before going into edit mode. I got so annoyed with it, especially how it would go 'Gash, proud warrior from the dwarf tribe', that I threw him in the game to be easily killed. I didn't mean it as offense to all dwarfs, of course.

Also, I liked your suggestion ("I would perhaps suggest taking the strong points of Duder and the Mage and making a more serious game for your next game project, but that's up to you.") because that is exactly what I am doing. My favorite fields in D&tM (the glaciers and the desert) are pretty much replicated (with certain variations) in the game I am making now. I wanted to use that otherworldy one, too, but it wouldn't really fit into a serious game, you know.

And thanks for the contest, Valk. It was a lot of fun. I wouldn't have even made that game if it wasn't for the deadline and all. I just hope that there's another contest by the time I'm near completing the game I'm working on now (which will be a long time).

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

Now I know what I'm doing after Dreadlord is done.

Omegablade Saga: Reforged, a kind-of-sort-of remake (many of the main plot elements will probably stay, but there will also be quite a few more changes than a remake would normally have).

I think what hurt it the most was the character names, dialogue, and the balance. This version was right after I made the garden thing, but before I realized how much it screwed up the balance. I made some adjustments, but can't upload it due to Dex Drive problems, hence the remake.

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

No game that relies so heavily on poop should ever win anything.

I liked Obright's review system, though.

Re: Extravaganzicon Contest Results

Would it be possible to link within the initial submission post for the games and demos submitted for the contest to the contest results page, seeing as how it's not stickied, and will fall off the page in a month? Or should I just make a new post and make the link myself?
