Week Of Awesome III - The Afterparty/judging thread!

Tim · 2017-07-05T14:45:25

Well another year, another week is done! Congratulations to everyone whom competed! Creating a game in a week is no small task, and I am quite proud of what you guys accomplished! Once again I've compiled everyone's journals together and took notes of how many posts you did in the competition thread. I also made note of cross posting(responding to others, commenting on others journals). I compile this not just for us judges to use, but also for anyone who wants to go through each team's works, and see how they did things! Once again congrats to everyone whom competed, I think it's been another great year, and I've also taken plenty of notes on how to hopefully improve things for next year. With that said i'd like to also take this thread as a place to be used to talk to fellow contestants, and enjoy the games folks made.Admin Thread: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/668847-the-week-of-awesome-iii-the-third-annual-unofficial-gamedevnet-competition-administration-thread/Competition Thread: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/670757-week-of-awesome-iii-the-competition-thread/Results Post: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/670965-week-of-awesome-iii-the-afterpartyjudging-thread/?view=findpost&p=5249412Results will also be posted in this thread when we are finished. Remember that many of us judges have day jobs, so please allow us to the end of august at the latest to finish judging. I'd also like to add that with the help of Eck whom created a great judging scale: http://www.gamedev.net/blog/2108/entry-2261430-ecks-unofficial-judging-officially-explained/ which i'd like to refer to here as well. This should give you a better sense of what scoring in each category means related to your game:[spoiler]Gameplay/fun: 25 pointsThis one is kind of subjective, but I tried to break it down similar to my other scores.0: I can't delete this game fast enough1-4: Bad. I had to fight the controls, and I didn't want to finish playing it, but I had to because I'm a judge. I have trouble seeing where you were trying to go with this.5-11: Poor. I can see where you were trying to go, but you didn't quite get there in the week's time. The fun factor just wasn't quite there. A little more time and you might have been able to squeeze some fun out of your chosen direction through mechanics tweaks, or levels.12-18: Decent. I had some fun playing your game and you should be proud. You made a game that is kind of fun in only a week's time.19-22: Good. I had more than a little fun with your game. Other people seeing a score this high should check out this game. I might even steal an idea or two from the game.23-24: Great. I had lots of fun in your game. Everyone should definitely check out this game.25: Damn this game is fun! I'll probably play this some more after the competition.Graphics: 20 points0: You're bad, and you should feel bad! I highly doubt I'll be handing this out to anyone. 1-3: The graphics are bad enough that it detracts from the rest of the game.4-9: Not great graphics, but it's a game jam. There's no need to be ashamed here, but next year you might want to look into some free assets.10-14: Decent graphics for a jam. Here's where you should start to feel pride in your accomplishment. You managed to make a game in a week and the art is decent15-17: Good graphics for a jam. I could see this in a real game.18-19: Great graphics for a jam. How'd you have time for that? O.o20: Holy crap! This could be in a high quality game.Theme: 20 points0: You heard the theme right? Death is useful. And you made a farming game? 1-3: Death was mentioned in passing.4-9: Death is technically useful in your game, but it's a stretch.10-14: You've met the goal of death being useful.15-17: Death is useful and you put an interesting twist on it.18-19: Great concept, clever interpretation, and good execution.20: Wow, what an amazing idea! Great execution too!Audio: 10 points0: There was sound, I turned it off. My ears are bleeding!1: Lack of sound or bad sound effects/music.2-4: You have sound but it isn't great.5-7: You have sound in your game and it wasn't bad.8: Good sound effects.9: Great sound effects for a game jam.10: These sound effects are amazing.First Time User Experience: 10 points0: The game crashes, it's buggy, no documentation, and counter intuitive.1: Hard to figure out, bad experience.2-4: Some installation issues. Game works most of the time. Could use better documentation.5-7: Everything works.8: Intuitive and enjoyable experience.9: Great job. I forgot this was a game that was built in only a week.10: Flawless. No installer. Documentation was very clear or completely unnecessary.Participation: 10 pointsMust post links to your posts in the Competition ThreadThis is a slightly modified scale from Eck's:0: Didn't post anything anywhere except for the link to your game.0.5 points for each post that is: More than a few sentences1 points for each post that is good and detailed(or is a journal post).1 point for a meaningful comment on someone else's threadJudge's Discretion: 5 points-These points are up to each judge-[/spoiler]With that out of the way, you can find each team's progress listed here:Team: Slaughterhouse Gaming -

So... Slicer...

0: You heard the theme right? Death is useful. And you made a farming game? :P

For the most part the judging criteria are exactly like mine, but it looks like slicer took some rephrasing liberties. My original version said ...and you made a Sudoku game? I thought about phrasing it exactly like that to take a friendly jab at rithamus for last year's entry, but I wasn't sure that I knew him well enough for friendly jabs to be interpreted that way. :)

Eck, that wasn't what I was getting at lol. I was reffering to last years week of awesomeness.

"The code you write when you learn a new language is shit.
You either already know that and you are wise, or you don’t realize it for many years and you are an idiot. Either way, your learning code is objectively shit." - L. Spiro

Will the judges write any notes on our games, or will they only give scores?

We'll try to write a paragraph or two per game.

However, they will be written in classical latin, making sure to use as many words as possible that we haven't yet discovered the translations for.

I don't know if it matters. But Anna on my team was not able to participate at all. So she doesn't need to be on the team list. If we win I don't want to be forced to share any of the winnings with her... even though she is my wife.

http://gamejolt.com/games/try-die-repeat/86584

Congratulations! That is amazing you hit the front page hope to get some time to play your game. When I check it was in the first slot so that makes it an even hotter game today.

@slicer, I checked and you our team had 0 twitter posts. All the other teams didn't have this as a mark so did I miss something?

This was an amazing week and it was nice to share it with all the competitors. I've jotted down a postmortem for our project that I wrote this morning.

http://www.etekworld.com/teamyag/yag-is-desinging-a-game/teamyag-postmortem/

This truly was a week of awesome to see so many games grow into something we could play. Good luck everyone and hope to see more games being built this year because of this competition. Win or lose I don't care because the experience was more important then anything else. Thanks Slicer for organizing this event and reading tallying up all the posts which is no small feat for the number of teams and posts.

Ah, yes i was going to track twitter posts which used #gdnjam. But by half way through the week, i think 2 people used it, so i just deceided to drop that metric(but forgot to delete from your post it seems)

Check out https://www.facebook.com/LiquidGames for some great games made by me on the Playstation Mobile market.

Great job compiling this list! Makes it so much easier to catch up on everything. And I intend to download an play each and every game and read each journal post.

This Week of Awesome was my first but it has been a great experience.

However, the link for my game points to the release candidate, that is not the final game.

It is also missing one of my journal entries. And my title screen image, don't know if that counts? :-)

Actually I made 18 journalposts for WOA3 on my site darkdroid.com but it's my own fault that I didn't remember to announce them all here. :-)

But if you still want to read all 18 you can find them on http://www.darkdroid.com

The post announcing the final game looks like this:

EDIT: Gotta love it, found a bug 2 minutes after uploading, an entirely new bug, menu music no longer playing...

But NOW it should work. :-)

Btw I changed the link with this edit, so please download the latest version.

EDIT 2: Final journal entry: http://darkdroidcom.blogspot.no/2015/08/aaaaaand-were-done-week-of-awesome-day.html

I had uploaded the wrong verison (To be exact, I compiled a version, but forgot to update the ZIP file) I changed the file behind the link to the newer one, so now, so I hope its okay. (You can check that no code has changed since the end of the competition)

Does this mean you're wanting to use a version that wasn't uploaded/linked at the end of the competition?
