The Week of Awesome: Unofficial GDNet Competition

Cornstalks · 2014-10-12T16:42:33

Note: for administration/organization/rules questions or information, see this thread. This thread here is for the actual submission of contest entries (and for non-administration/organization discussion). The competition has officially begun! The competition is over! The theme is: What if the dinosaurs had never gone extinct? Note: this is all I will say about the theme; I will leave it to you to creatively incorporate it into your game. For rules and additional details, see the administration thread (and feel free to ask any questions). I'll repeat some notes here, though, for convenience: To submit a game, just post it to this thread. Don't worry if you're not on the interested or team lists in the administration thread; anyone is welcome to post a game during the competition (posting a game in the thread is all you need to do to officially enter into the competition). I highly encourage participants to post their games here at least a few days before the competition ends and for GDNet users to download these games, test them out, and give feedback (especially if there are bugs or crashes). You can resubmit/update your game during the competition with updates/fixes/changes/whatever. Only your latest/most recent entry will be judged (but must be submitted before the competition ends). See the administration thread for a full list of rules.

I am hosting these on my Google Drive while judging is done. If this messes anything up for you, please let me know. When judging is over, I will change the links to point to your own site/download, if you would like me to (you'll have to PM me and let me know).

I promised to write a post-mortem of my game. Although not yet published it sounds like Cornstalks has the final results so I now have no reservations about pointing out the (many) flaws of my game: http://www.gilldave.co.uk/2013/09/my-week-of-awesome-competition-entry-post-mortem/

Sorry it's taking me forever to post these results. I didn't get home until today, which threw off some of my plans, and I'm waiting for one small hiccup to get sorted out and then I'll post these results!

I unfortunately don't have time to make a pretty, well formatted post with all the judging results (I'll do that this evening though, for sure), but I want to quickly take a minute to let the first and second place winners know who they are:

First place in the judging results was No Better than Dinosaurs. Congrats wolferaven, Ecker00, and Thortrillion!

Second place in the judging results was Human Roundup. Congrats Endurion!

A huge thanks to everyone who participated and the judges!!!

I enjoyed both of those games - Congratulations to Endurion, Ecker00, wolferaven & Thortrillion!

The screams from the people in Human Roundup were very memorable and funny and the quality of the polish on No Better than Dinosaurs is quite frankly staggering!

Well done all!

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who submitted a game. A game in 7 days is no small task! I want to thank everyone who participated (even if you didn't submit a game and only participated in a social way), the judges (Gaiiden, jbadams, and Alpha_ProgDes), GameDev.net for all your support, jbadams for the Spriter prizes, and everyone else who I should be thanking but am forgetting at this moment. This was fun for me, and I hope it was fun for you! Also, thanks for being patient with me (and my occasional delays).

GDNet is rewarding all those who submitted a game with some participation rep points. I gave them this list of participants (who have GDNet accounts); if I missed anyone who should be on here please let me know! The list:

viniciusepiplon

Endurion

minibutmany

esmith1701 (did he just change his name to The Kilted Coder?)
