Week Of Awesome III - The Afterparty/judging thread! - GDNet Lounge

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 -

Looking at the entry compilation (specifically, the .zip version), I see that Team "That Big Fat Chicken" has a folder, but an empty one--is this correct?

Otherwise, I've now played all of the games that would run under Windows XP--which, funnily enough, was most of them--I believe. (I might borrow a relative's Windows 7 or Windows 10 installation at a later stage.) I also just played Try. Die. Repeat. (Team hu3's game, I believe), the offline version of which I recall didn't work under XP, but the online, GameJolt version of which does seem to work in Firefox under Ubuntu.

There are some rather cool games there! There's also quite a variety of aesthetics: Endurion's Bunny Hop is cute-but-dark, DifferentName's Lich has a fun, cartoony look, Lactose's Death 'n Flowers is simply pretty, while Orymus' Death is Useful is oddly "metal", if I recall correctly.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mechanics and gameplay
You walk in a landscape of rolling hills and try to avoid some black things (walking mushrooms?) that walk and jump around. I tried and tried and tried again to hammer the space bar as per the instructions but I could not for the bare life of me make the character jump. Makes me sad because I really wanted to play the game. The game without jumping is too hard. Could not get past more than the first hilltop before I died.

@DarkDroid

It works as planned the game is 100% beatable It just takes patience. There are 3 levels. If you are full lives you cannot move at all. If you have 1 death 1 heart you can walk. If you have 2 death hearts you can jump, but you cannot get 2 death hearts in the first level, because you loose. IE no jumping in the first level. Please try again and I hope you would re-consider your post about this because others will not play it at all if they read your review. At least try to get to level 2. Also the "undie" animation is VERY important to be that long in level 2.

BTW the not moving that you mentioned that is because you had no death hearts. So you cannot move until you get one.

It's taking me much longer to review all the games thanI anticipated. I've already put two full days into testing and reviewing and I'm only about two thirds done. I don't know how official judges do it. :)

One more day of dedicated testing should do it and I'll post my results in a blog post and link it here.

I don't know how official judges do it.

We make up scores by rolling dice, and then pretend we've played the game.

"Yea man, the aliens in this entry just totally threw off my magic missiles. 2 out of 10 stars."

Either that or we take the Amazon.com route, and start reviewing games before they're even released.

"Um, I haven't played it yet, but based on the publisher's marketing campaign it looks like it'll be incredible! 5/5"

Obligatory post-mortem (totally mandatory!)

http://www.gamedev.net/blog/2070/entry-2261479-post-mortem-on-death-is-useful/

It's taking me much longer to review all the games thanI anticipated. I've already put two full days into testing and reviewing and I'm only about two thirds done. I don't know how official judges do it.

I know the feel, last year was pretty brutal for me too: 1 week of sleep deprivation to get the game on-time, and then 1 week of sleep deprivation to review all the games the OTHERS had done. Guess why I'm not a judge this time ;)
